Applications being accepted for the Émigré Memorial German Internship Program

Cultural Vistas is currently accepting applications for the Émigré Memorial German Internship Program - German State Parliaments (EMGIP).

 

This program provides an opportunity for U.S. and Canadian students to intern at one of the German State Parliaments across Germany’s 16 state capitals. This is a great opportunity for individuals hoping to pursue careers at a regional level of government, or who are interested in specific public policy issues such as the environment, education, migration, and healthcare. Participants gain practical work experience with a state parliament, utilize their German skills and experience German political culture firsthand. Participants in this program receive monthly stipends to ensure a total monthly salary of EUR 670 (U.S. citizens only).
