 Questions about "General Information":


?Why should I consider doing an internship?
A professional internship will help you to make career decisions, to develop your professional and personal skills, to see how your specialized skills and classroom theory apply in a working setting, and allows you to begin the process of networking early in your college career. CEPA Europe Internship Programs provide excellent opportunities to gain career related, on-the-job experience while at the same time, gaining essential knowledge of the German and European languages and culture.

?When does the internship start?
The placement process takes place year round. Please state your availability when submitting an application.

?How long does an internship last?
You should be prepared to invest at least two to three months in an internship, because we want you to overtake challenging and interesting tasks. Experience has shown that expectations are often not fulfilled in the case of shorter internships.

?Is there a certainty that I will get paid?
Some internships will be paid internships and others will not. As internship programs are quite competitive, we cannot guarantee you a paid internship. Please keep in mind that you compete with hundreds of native Germans for internship positions. Therefore, we expect you to be open-minded and consider every offer carefully.
