Apprentice or skilled employee with work experience?
Depending on your educational background, there are two kinds of job opportunities in Germany.
Apprenticeship in Germany
Germany has a very unique three year vocational training system in place. The idea of this program is to give the opportunity to learn a skill-based profession and obtain a
recognized qualification without the academic background.
What's different?
The first big difference is that this training is job based with
parallel theoretical studies at a school or polytechnic. The second difference is that this goes far beyond the artisan trades.
The apprentice will receive a fixed salary!
