Are you interested in training in Germany in the healthcare, industrial/technical or skilled trades sector? Then the ‘APAL’ project could be just right for you.
We are looking for motivated students from El Salvador, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, India and Uzbekistan who are interested in training in the nursing, medical, industrial-technical or skilled trades sector.
By participating in our project, you will have the opportunity to complete a vocational training in Germany and learn the German language.
As the Federal Employment Agency, we guarantee fair mobility. We work closely with the German embassies and regional Goethe Institutes to place graduates of PASCH schools and other institutions in dual vocational training programmes in Germany. PASCH stands for ‘Schools: Partners for the Future’ and is coordinated by the Goethe Institute. The network consists of around 2,000 schools worldwide where German as a foreign language is highly valued.
Employers from various sectors throughout Germany participate with their training programmes.
We are happy to accompany you in this process and support you with your start in Germany.
