In Germany, you do not just sit down and study at school. You can put what you have learnt into practice in a company right away, have a peek at the work of experts and continually improve your own skills. And the best part: you receive vocational training pay.

You can enter the programme with any school qualification. Find your dream job and enjoy the best kind of vocational training you can imagine. Of course, we hope that you will stay on and apply your expertise in Germany. But with your practical and specialised training you will also find a job in your home country, in Europe or world-wide.
