These are adjusted to the above mentioned objectives, training needs of the trainees and guidelines of their respective educational institutions.Trainees and graduates who have completed the training recently are promoted from the 2nd and 3rd year of training on, so that theoretical knowledge and/ or professional experience can be provided by the trainee as a solid foundation for an internship of quality.Each educational institution establishes the practical training content. These are based on the teaching and training plan of the training course and are the substantive basis of the planned internship abroad. Internships are arranged individually and take place in the respective sector of the trainees.This is coordinated in cooperation with the receiving facilities in advance, with the result that the content quality of the project is ensured. A special form of mobility projects offers further professional education by the AHK Paris. The training is aimed exclusively at graduates in the commercial sector with good knowledge of french.
