Internship in Germany: Work in Europe!
Internship in Germany — an exchange program that lets you complete a professional internship in Germany. Young professionals aged 18-30 who want to gain unique experience in tourism and hospitality can apply. To join, you’ll need a sufficient level of language skills — German at Upper-Intermediate or English at Upper-Intermediate (depending on the placement or employer). The internship in Germany is designed to broaden and put your professional skills into practice. Internship durations range from 3 to 12 months. Applications are open year-round. Internships are usually located in suburbs and smaller towns, but Germany’s well-developed transport network means you can travel around the country quickly and comfortably and experience German culture first-hand. The program sponsor finds a single placement but isn’t obliged to guarantee a specific city or job type, so participants should be flexible about the employer’s location.
Why join this program?
Brush up on your German;
Gain invaluable work experience in Germany;
Discover and immerse yourself in German culture;
Your edge when seeking future employment

Trip reviews
These months of living and working in the United States have impressed me deeply. I live in a beautiful little house, and I can always go out to interact with the deer and squirrels on the road, an experience I have never had. The natural environment of the town I work is beautiful, there is no pollution, the weather is very blue, the air is too fresh!

I hope more students can participate in this program..
