What is an apprenticeship?

An apprenticeship is a program for acquiring professional knowledge and practical skills, specifically designed to prepare you for a certain profession. It is a hands-on form of vocational training that is highly valued in Germany.

It combines theoretical knowledge from vocational school with practical experience in a company.

This way, apprentices gain not only specialized knowledge but also valuable professional skills from a German company, which they can apply directly in the workplace.

Whether in skilled trades, industry, social services, or IT – there is an apprenticeship suitable for nearly every area of interest.
