DSZC Vocational Festival Held Again in Debrecen

The Debrecen Vocational Training Centre (DSZC) launched its Vocational Festival in 2022 with the intention of creating a long-term tradition, and this year the event celebrated its fifth anniversary. Visitors were not only able to observe different professions, but also try them out for themselves. From robotics and 3D printing to construction, hospitality, and creative industries, as well as spectacular chemistry demonstrations, a wide range of exciting activities awaited attendees.

The aim of the event is to help young people approaching career choices through personal experience, while also giving families a closer look at Debrecen’s vocational training opportunities and the professions of the future.

Institutions belonging to the Debrecen Vocational Training Centre once again prepared a wide variety of engaging programmes for visitors this year:

At the Baross stand, visitors could discover the secrets of locking mechanisms while also observing the operation of a mini lathe and LEGO robots at close range.

At the Beregszászi stand, robots passed footballs and played matches, while visitors could try directing railway station traffic on a model control table. At the Logic Playground, 3D-printed fantasy creatures and games demonstrated how imagination and technology can work together.

The Bethlen stand focused on European opportunities and international connections — with a little candy floss added for good measure.

Brassai’s industrial robotic arm and programmable devices provided a glimpse into the technologies of the future.

At the Építech stand, visitors could create practical handmade items, including mobile phone holders made from wood or even ceramic tiles.

Irinyi welcomed attendees with playful challenges, logistics puzzles, and quizzes related to logistics, tourism, and hospitality, while also offering insight into the basics of early childhood care.

Keri tempted visitors with sweet treats, including muffin decorating, confectionery demonstrations, and a fun “price awareness” game.

At the Kreatív stand, make-up, hair braiding, henna art, and psychology-themed games added colour to the programme.

Mechwart presented the complete process of three-dimensional printing, from design to production, and visitors could also try web-based games developed by students.

Péchy demonstrated the world of construction through impressive simulators and a mini crane.

The Chemical Industry stand prepared spectacular experiments, including a “ghost in the bottle”, homemade lava lamps, and a range of exciting demonstrations.

At the stand of the Debrecen Vocational Training Centre, career guidance counselling was available throughout the day to help visitors find professions best suited to their personalities.
