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.
?Where in Germany can I do my internship?
CEPA Europe internships are primarily based in major German cities, such as Berlin, Stuttgart, Munich, Cologne, Hamburg, and Frankfurt.
Your weekly expenses for food, etc. depend on your individual need and the city you will stay. In general you can count with approx. € 100 - 200 per month.
