Full support for teachers
A trip to the Maritime Career Market is an unexpected highlight for learners at the start of the new academic year – and also a great aid in seeing their own future more clearly. For teachers, however, it’s unexpected work.
This is why we are delighted to be able to provide you with comprehensive support – from arriving as a class to thematic accompaniment in teaching. Even the on-site programming is designed with a group experience in mind and tailored to the needs of learners in grades 9 to 13.
We wish you and your pupils an inspiring and informative visit, as well as plenty of positive, motivational experiences and discussions at the Maritime Career Market and SMM, the leading international maritime trade fair.
5 + 6 September
Free entry
For you as a teacher: you can order yourself a free ticket for entry on both days from our ticket shop. You will thereby be able to visit both the Maritime Career Market and SMM. Please have your teaching ID to hand at the entrance.
For your pupils or students: either order their free tickets yourself – or provide your class with vouchers. To do so, simply order the required quantity of vouchers, which can then be emailed personally to the recipients and redeemed in the ticket shop for free tickets.
Free or really cheap
Reaching us
Are you from Hamburg? From September 2024, all school pupils registered in Hamburg can travel through the city free of charge on buses and trains belonging to the Hamburger Verkehrsverbund (hvv) public transport network, and even across the country on local and regional transport. The approx. 100,000 schoolchildren already using the previous paid hvv Deutschlandticket will be contacted in person in June and will be switched automatically to the free Deutschlandticket in September. Anyone else can order the free hvv Deutschlandticket on the hvv website from August.
Coming from elsewhere? On top of the reductions that schoolchildren receive with regional transport operators in Schleswig-Holstein, Mecklenburg-West Pomerania, Lower Saxony and Bremen, Deutsche Bahn also offers very cheap tickets at the Super Young discount price for anyone under 27.

Tour for students
Following a short talk at the Career Forum, a guided tour kicks off in the afternoon of 5 September and allows students to meet human resources representatives from companies from the electronics, shipbuilding and engineering segments. These freshly acquired contacts can then be developed at the students’ leisure during the subsequent Career Happy Hour.
