Welcome to our workshop "Finding an internship in the German Southwest"

This training is designed to introduce international students to finding an internship in Germany. It begins with an overview of the internship landscape and culture in Germany, followed by key information about internships in Germany based on academic research and market reports. Following, students are asked to conduct a bounded search for five different internships, which leads to a review of the avenues and methods for finding internships in Germany, particularly for students looking for English-language internships. Then, students are introduced to initiative applications and the power of a well-written cover letter and/or introduction email. The final activity involves critiquing internship applications, in particular cover letters, concluding with a checklist for finding an internship in Germany. Students walk away from this workshop with a structure for finding an internship in Germany and special insight into English-language internship avenues.
