Welcome to Rainbow Career Day Frankfurt at Goethe University – the only LGBTQ+ career fair at a state university.

For everyone who lives and values diversity!

We love diversity, and so do you. That's why the Rainbow Career Day is taking place for the third time at and with Goethe University. The Rainbow Career Day Frankfurt, located directly on the Westend Campus, offers everyone interested an exceptional opportunity to engage in conversations with companies in a pleasant atmosphere, explore their own career prospects, and learn how a modern company provides all employees with a contemporary, appreciative work environment.

The stand conversations at the exhibition stands in the lecture hall center are suitable for exchange, which are available at the many employers seeking staff go out. Because many other Rainbow Career Day partners will be present: university institutions, student associations, the press – diversity is important to everyone.

The supporting program with lectures and panels goes a step further in terms of content and is also interesting for all those who are not currently pursuing a (new) career path.

The visitor lounge offers space to linger and socialize.

Participation is open to students of Goethe University, as well as all students from the greater region, schoolchildren, and individuals with professional experience.

Goethe University Frankfurt

The research profile of Goethe University is colorful and diverse – the university, in addition, is modern and practice-oriented. It strives to always be at the cutting edge and to continually offer students new programs and services.

Within the university, there are diverse, highly professional service centers, such as the Office for Equal Opportunity, the Department for Studies, Teaching, and International Affairs, and the Career Service, which attend to the interests and concerns of students while simultaneously serving as a bridge to the employer world.

Theme: „Allyship... now more than ever.“
People are different. Fortunately. Because – both in society and in the working world – our individuality, our different perspectives, and diverse voices are a great strength – if they are heard. Currently, a strong wind is blowing through the diversity landscape. Politically, in the media, socially. This also affects, perhaps even primarily, the queer/trans* community. It is therefore all the more important to show solidarity now and to stand strong as allies. Whether as a university, company, family member, colleague, or fellow student. Let's discuss this impulse together and find out how allyship can succeed, even in challenging times.
3:30 PM – 4:00 PM – Presentation by Aareon Group GmbH (Speaker Sandra Hendro (Director Diversity, Equity & Inclusion) and Sabrina Dick (Head of People & Culture DACH), Topic: „Queer Entry at Aareon – You, Me, We!“ What happens when people and all their diversity are truly at the center?)
