Career Days 2026 at Frankfurt School

Make new contacts, discover exciting companies and shape your own career path: Frankfurt School of Finance & Management’s Career Days 2026 offered students numerous opportunities to engage with potential employers from 28 October to 4 November. Interest was high, with around 400 company representatives from 80 companies and approximately 2,000 students taking part in this year’s various Career Days events.

From company dinners and a career fair to speed recruiting, workshops and virtual networking opportunities, the week focused on personal exchange and new career prospects.

“The Career Days highlight the importance of direct interaction between students and companies. Beyond specific career opportunities, the focus is on building personal connections, exploring different career paths and gaining a better understanding of the demands of the professional world. We are delighted that we were once again able to offer our students such a wide range of companies and opportunities for meaningful conversations this year,” says Maren Kaus, Director of Career Services at Frankfurt School.

Personal encounters and engaging conversations

The Career Days kicked off with Company Dinners on 28 and 29 October at various locations across Frankfurt. Away from campus, students had the opportunity to meet company representatives in a relaxed atmosphere, ask questions and establish initial contacts.

One of the highlights of the Career Days was the Career Fair held on 3 November at Frankfurt School’s campus. Students had the opportunity to engage with recruiters, company representatives and alumni. Conversations focused on internships, entry-level positions and individual career paths. Beyond discussing specific job opportunities, students were also able to get to know the people behind the companies and gain a first impression of potential future employers.

Students looking for more focused conversations with recruiters could apply for speed recruiting sessions. These short one-on-one meetings provided an opportunity to discuss individual career goals and strengthen connections with companies that matched their profiles and professional interests.

New insights and networking – including online

The programme continued on 4 November with a variety of activities. In the morning, companies hosted interactive workshops on campus, giving students insights into different professional fields, an understanding of corporate cultures and valuable advice on job applications and starting their careers. The Career Breakfast provided an opportunity to continue conversations and make new connections.

In the afternoon, the focus shifted to the digital space. During the Virtual Career Day, students could attend company presentations, connect with recruiters and take part in individual conversations.

Leading companies from a wide range of industries

With 80 participating companies, this year’s Career Days once again offered students access to a broad range of industries and career opportunities. The banking and finance sector was represented by companies including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Commerzbank, ING and BNP Paribas. Leading consulting firms such as McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group, Roland Berger and Deloitte also took part.

Companies from the consumer goods and food retail sectors, including Procter & Gamble and Lidl, further broadened the range of opportunities. Representatives from the technology and telecommunications sectors, such as Deutsche Telekom, and the energy sector, including RWE, were also present. This diversity of industries enabled students to explore a wide variety of professional fields and establish valuable connections for their future careers.

The Career Days 2026 once again proved valuable for both sides: students gained insights and inspiration for their professional futures, while companies had the opportunity to meet and connect with potential future talent.
