Lille Health, Social Care and Sports Careers Fair 2026

The Salon de l'Etudiant Santé, Social, Paramédical et Sport in Lille is the annual meeting point for sixth-formers, university students and families planning a career in healthcare, social work or sport. Organised by L'Etudiant together with the Hauts-de-France academic region, the fair maps out the full range of degrees, competitive entrance exams and career paths available in these fields. Across the day, visitors can browse stands run by schools, institutes and training bodies, sit in on expert-led talks and workshops, and get one-to-one advice on Parcoursup applications and exam preparation. The fair is also a chance to speak directly with working professionals, current students and trainers. The 2026 edition takes place at Lille Grand Palais, Hall Bruxelles, from 9:00 to 17:00. The exhibitor list goes live online around two weeks before the event, and the interactive floor plan appears ten days ahead so visitors can plan their route. If you are travelling in, booking a hotel within walking distance of Lille Grand Palais — in Euralille or central Lille — makes it easy to arrive on foot and get the most out of the day.
