Objective
Practical training placements for students of the above mentioned subjects
are arranged by the International Association for the Exchange
of Students for Technical Experience (IAESTE).
Placements are, however, only available to countries with a National IAESTE
Committee. Within the DAAD, unit 225 is the German National IAESTE Committee.

Duration
Usually, traineeships are two to three months in duration with various firms,
institutions of higher education and research institutes. In individual
cases, traineeships of extended duration can be arranged.
Value
Trainees are usually paid 615,-- euros per month;
the DAAD, however, is not able to grant additional funds to cover travel
costs.
Requirements
- Specific
information on conditions of eligibility is available from the National
IAESTE Committee of the member country concerned.
- Language
Proficiency: Requirements regarding language proficiency of German
differ greatly; some firms require their foreign trainees to have a good
knowledge of German, while others only ask for some basic knowledge
required for communicating at work. In many cases a good knowledge of
English is sufficient.
- Training
placements recruited in Germany
are offered exclusively by the responsible National IAESTE Committee
abroad, which in turn arranges placements for German university
students. Unfortunately, the DAAD is unable to arrange traineeships for
individual foreign applicants, except within the framework of the IAESTE
exchange scheme.
Country-specific information, dates and deadlines, application address and
advice
- Precise
information on when to submit applications is available from the
National IAESTE Committee of the applicant's home country.
- Students
of the stated subjects interested in a training placement in Germany
should address the National IAESTE Committee in their home country.
Addresses of the National IAESTE Committees and further information are
available via Internet www.iaeste.org.
