Practical Traineeships for Thai Students (IAESTE)
Objective
Practical training placements for students of the above mentioned subjects are arranged by the International Association for the Exchange of Students for Technical Experience (IAESTE). Placements are, however, only available to countries with a National IAESTE Committee. Within the DAAD, unit 225 is the German National IAESTE Committee
Duration
Usually, traineeships are two to three months in duration with various firms, institutions of higher education and research institutes. In individual cases, traineeships of extended duration can be arranged.
Value
Trainees are usually paid 615.- € per month; the DAAD, however, is not able to grant additional funds to cover travel costs
Requirements
- Specific information on conditions of eligibility is available from the National IAESTE Committee of the member country concerned.
- Language Proficiency: Requirements regarding language proficiency of German differ greatly; some firms require their foreign trainees to have a good knowledge of German, many others however only ask for some basic knowledge necessary for communication at work. In some cases a good knowledge of English is sufficient.
- Training placements recruited in Germany are offered exclusively by the responsible National IAESTE Committee abroad, which in turn arranges placements for German university students. Unfortunately, the DAAD is unable to arrange traineeships for individual foreign applicants, except within the framework of the IAESTE exchange scheme
- Precise information on when to submit applications is available from the IAESTE Thailand.
