Working Holiday in Germany: Dream holiday!
The Working Holiday In Germany program provides paid jobs throughout Germany for students during summer or winter holidays. Participants in the program have the right to work and travel around the country. University and college students aged 18-35 can take part in the holiday work program. It is important to maintain student status for the entire duration of the program. Therefore students in their final semester are not eligible for the program. Proficiency in German and English is required for all students. Participants with a good level of German (not lower than Intermediate) have a chance to receive offers for higher-level positions. Conversely, participants with a low level of German mainly work in positions such as cleaner and maid. Participants can work in any city in Germany. The program sponsor selects only one potential employer. At the same time, they are not obliged to provide the participant with a specific city or type of work.
