Apply for funding for compulsory internships for young agricultural specialists from Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan in Germany

If your institution organizes stays for compulsory internships for agricultural students from Ukraine, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, you can receive a grant from the federal government.

The Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Home Affairs (BMLEH) supports compulsory internships in Germany for young people from Eastern European and Central Asian countries working in the agricultural sector. These include the following countries:

• Ukraine
• Kyrgyzstan
• Kazakhstan
• Uzbekistan

The internship is intended to enable students of agriculture to continue their education in Germany. They should gain an insight into German agricultural structures and deepen their existing knowledge and skills. As future specialists and managers, it is important that the students become familiar with the business practices and market conditions of privately managed German companies. The internships are supplemented by central courses, field trips and intermediate seminars.

Students should gain knowledge and experience in the following areas of agriculture:

• Production methods in the areas of crop production, animal husbandry and bioenergy
• Business administration and farm management
• marketing
• Nature and environmental protection
• Work organization, occupational safety and employee management
• Ecological and social framework conditions

During their internship, students should become familiar with the German vocational training system and be able to apply and pass on the knowledge and experience gained in Germany in their later professional activities.
