Due to the increasing globalisation of the markets, an international orientation of the training is becoming more and more important. This is especially true for our students who are training to become commercial assistants with a focus on foreign languages or international administration managers (European secretaries). These training programmes prepare students for jobs in international companies. The associated internships become more important every year and have a high influence on later job applications. In recent years, the duration of the internships has varied between 8 and 12 weeks. For the future, we are planning a placement duration of 12 weeks for the Commercial Assistant with a focus on foreign languages and 6 months for the International Administration Manager. Our students can put what they have learned into practice in a foreign company, experience other cultures, improve their language skills and thereby considerably expand their competences. In addition, our students experience a significant increase in their self-esteem through a stay abroad, which they often organise and carry out for the first time.
The Euro Akademie Hamburg Hamburger Fremdsprachen- und Wirtschaftsschule GmbH has always promoted the idea of a united Europe. Therefore, we would like to enable our students to complete part of their education abroad. This takes place in the form of internships in various European countries. Thanks to Erasmus + funding, our students are able to finance their travel and stay abroad. Without this programme, such a stay would not be an option for the majority of the students.
