1. Apprenticeship Programmes (Ausbildungen) in Germany
Apprenticeship programmes (Ausbildungen) are training programmes offered in Germany for school leavers who do not enroll for degree programmes. Students enrolled for these programmes are employed in a company where they work partially and the rest of the time they have to attend schools. Depending on the type of the programme, students can either combine the work and train model weekly or blocked in months. The programme takes 3 years and students are paid a small salary. For one to enroll for the programmes, a host company/training institution is a requirement plus very good German language. Click here to read more about the programmes.
