International Career Meetup Wuppertal
Together is better
At the International Career Meetup, you'll meet other international students and early-career professionals who are looking to gain—or already have—first experiences in the German job market. No presentations, no PowerPoints—just honest conversations, helpful tips, and relaxing networking at eye level.
Each meetup has a different focus—for example: CV tips, interview stories, networking without small-talk pressure, or insights into German workplace culture. Just drop by—with your questions or ideas!
