Ausbildung (Vocational Training)
Ausbildung, also known as vocational training, is a “dual” system that combines practical, on-the-job experience with theoretical classroom instruction. It is a highly respected alternative to university education, designed to prepare students as specialised, job-ready professionals.
Au Pair
Au pairs are young individuals who live with a host family and assist with everyday household responsibilities — such as childcare and light domestic tasks — in exchange for room, board, and cultural exchange. This arrangement allows them to improve their language skills, gain international experience, and develop a deeper understanding of the host country’s culture and way of life.
