The Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange for Young Professionals is a yearlong work/study cultural exchange designed to give 75 American participants an understanding and knowledge of everyday life in Germany. Participants live with a host family, study at a German university, and work in a German company or organization. Conceived and supported by members of the United States Congress and the German Bundestag, the program is financially supported by the US Department of State and the German Bundestag. CDS International, Inc. administers the program in the United States. The program is designed primarily for those in business, technical, vocational and agricultural fields, although applicants in all fields are encouraged to apply. Strong interest in German and international affairs is essential, although German language skills are not required to apply. The program has three parts: a two-month intensive German language course in Germany to develop the facility needed for successful participation; four-month study at a German university of applied sciences or professional school; and a five-month internship with a German company or organization in the participant's target field.
The scholarship includes international airfare; schooling fees; orientation, mid-year and final seminars; insurance; partial local transportation; and host family stipends. Participants must provide their own spending money throughout the year. Application Deadline: December 1, 2005 for the July 2006-July 2007 program year.
