Working Holiday in Germany: the holidays of your dreams!
The Working Holiday In Germany program provides paid job placements throughout Germany for students during their summer or winter holidays. Program participants have the right to work and travel around the country. University and college students aged 18-35 can participate in the holiday work program. It is important to maintain student status throughout the program. Therefore, final semester students are not allowed to participate. A mandatory condition for all students is knowledge of German and English. Participants with a good level of German (at least Intermediate) have a chance to receive a job offer for a higher position. Meanwhile, participants with a low level of German mainly work in positions such as cleaners and housekeepers. Participants can work in any city in Germany. The program sponsor selects only one potential employer. However, they are not obliged to provide the participant with a specific city or type of work.
