Why does it make sense to participate?
Direct contact
Do your programmes offer the best opportunities after secondary school, vocational training or technical college? Convince the relevant target group directly on site – it couldn't be easier.
Visible at the right moment
Showcase your offers where people are looking for guidance. The fair creates a space where you can communicate your degree programs, values, and unique features in a way that is understandable and accessible – far more so than would be possible via digital channels.
Authentic insights
Give a realistic impression of what studying or working at your institution means. Whether it's course content, campus life, or career opportunities:
a face-to-face encounter builds trust and helps young people make a decision that feels right.
Who will be there?
School leavers from across German-speaking Switzerland. Around 1’000 secondary school pupils from grammar schools, cantonal schools, vocational secondary schools and specialised secondary schools are expected to attend. In 2026 the Maturierenden-Messe Zürich will take place for the eight time.
