Punto di Incontro 2026 in Pordenone: education, guidance and jobs

Punto di Incontro is north-eastern Italy's flagship fair for anyone weighing up what comes next after high school, university or a career change. Over two days, halls 7, 8 and 9 at Fiera di Pordenone bring together Italian and international universities, post-diploma specialisation schools, master's programmes, academies, ITS institutes, training centres and business schools under one roof. The fair is built around three tracks: Formazione (education), Orientamento (guidance) and Lavoro (work). The education area is where visitors pick up brochures on bachelor's and master's degrees, as well as international options such as internships and language courses. In the guidance area, advisers help attendees understand their own strengths and the paths open to them. The work area hosts recruitment agencies, temp agencies and companies actively looking for new hires. Alongside the exhibition floor, Punto di Incontro runs a full programme of talks, workshops and themed sessions hosted by the exhibitors themselves. Workshop registration is mandatory, and entry to the fair requires prior online sign-up, even though admission itself is free of charge. The event welcomes high-school students and their families, university students and graduates, first-time job seekers, people looking to change careers, and anyone curious about study or work opportunities in Italy or abroad.
