The many important services for the queer community in Cologne were expanded to include a new format in 2024:
The Rainbow Career Day!
The event will continue on June 6, 2025, this time even closer to the community and super easy to reach at Cafe Bach of Aidshilfe Köln (on Heumarkt)
Companies present themselves here as participating employers and show why they see diversity in the company as an essential part of the corporate culture and are very happy to talk to interested visitors from the queer community (and all those for whom diversity is important).
Conversely, everyone who attends Rainbow Day learns how authentic a company is and whether their own personality is reflected in this company. Regardless of industry or general area of expertise!
The event will be complemented by a supporting program that also invites people to exchange ideas, engage in dialogue, get to know each other and network outside of career talks.

Together we are strong!
Aidshilfe Köln has been supporting the community since 1985!
Prevention, counseling, reduction of prejudice & discrimination. Always towards a prejudice-free coexistence. We celebrate this and are proud to be able to organize the Rainbow Carrer Day Cologne in 2025 right there in Cafe Bach.
