How To Apply For OFAJ Internships?

The French-German Office for the Youth (OFAJ/ DFJW) attributes scholarships for practical internships in Germany during the professional-technological training. These internships allow to widen the professional, intercultural and linguistic skills of students.

The program addresses the students of less than 30 years in vocational or technological training that must realize a compulsory internship of at least 4 weeks. The students should be permanent residents in France and they will have to stay in Germany during the internship, because the internship will take place in a French institution in Germany.



The amount of the grant is 300 euros for an internship of 4 weeks. Beyond this duration, a 150-fixed package is granted by slice of two weeks. If the internship lasts more than three months, it is, however, limited to 900 euros. And, in case, the trainee is fed and accommodated by the employer, half of the rate is paid

A subsidy at the expense of the trip can be attributed. It depends on the distance between the location of the school and the place of internship in Germany.



The possible compensations of internship paid by the employer accumulated in the amount of the received grant do not have to exceed 1000 euros a month.


How To apply for OFAJ internships:

The application for OFAJ internship is to be made by the professional or technological educational establishment (it is the applicant). The application form of subsidy must be filled and signed by the head teacher or the responsible professor and sent to the OFAJ one month before the beginning of the internship.

The already realized programs, and for which no preliminary request was deposited, cannot be subsidized.



When several trainees of the same establishment make an internship in Germany, all the applications for a scholarship for a given period are to be included on a single form. In case a student would have difficulty to find an internship, the corresponding request will be the object of a later application.
