The tasks within city administrations in Germany, including those of the City of Münster, become more and more international due to the current immigration situation and the globalization overall. The City Administration of Münster is facing the challenge to implement globalization within its own ranks.For this purpose the city of Münster needs employees with international experience and advanced language skills. The proposed international measure enables individual training on the job and the sensitisation for international affairs. Immigrants as well as international guests and citizens of Münster will directly benefit from the professional, linguistic and social competences gained by all participants of this measure.There is also a strong argument in this kind of qualification for the take-over of internal trainees. Having successfully participated in this language program and the international job shadowing increases the chances in the labor market - even so it is no guarantee for a take-over after the traineeship at the City f Münster, but definitely improves the candidate’s qualification and chance to enter the current job market.During the course of this program, four groups each existing out of five trainees and two trainers will travel to York. The trainers are not only responsible to assist the trainees locally but more importantly to enhance their own intercultural experience. Each group will stay in York for 15 days. Their language class will take up five days and for another five days each participant will get to know the British daily business routine through job shadowing. The weekend will be spent in the respective host families to further improve language skills and experience the British culture first hand.After this program all participants will have improved their language skills as well as their social and intercultural competences. Last but not least they will have a much broader understanding of council administration expertise as a whole and also in respect to their individual work environment. In addition each participant will have been introduced to the British system of council administration and hence benefit from having experienced different ways of problem solving solutions.In addition, all trainees will have profoundly enhanced their professional profile for the job market. Due to this international experience and their gained competences they will be more attractive to their employer and will improve their chance for a job offer following their training program – internal but also external. For the City of Münster it is very important that all participants generally mature their readiness to embrace in international projects. Over time this will change the atmosphere and corporate culture within the administration. Based on improved language skills and intercultural experience this will lead to the fact that employees are more willing to participate in European affairs.
