Internship in Germany: work in Europe!
Internship in Germany is an exchange program with the possibility of completing a professional internship in Germany. Young professionals aged 18-30 who wish to gain unique work experience in the tourism and hospitality sector can participate. To participate, you must have a sufficient level of language proficiency — German at least at the Upper Intermediate level or English at the Upper Intermediate level (depending on the internship/employer). The internship in Germany aims to expand and implement the professional skills of young specialists. The duration of internships in Germany can be from 3 to 12 months. Recruitment for the program occurs year-round. Internships are usually located in suburban and small towns. However, it should be noted that Germany has a developed transport infrastructure. Participants can always quickly and comfortably travel around the country and “feel” the richness of German culture. The program sponsor finds one internship position but is not obliged to provide a specific city or type of work. Participants need to be more flexible regarding the location of the employer.
