Ausbildung in Germany — Earn While You Learn, Build a Career That Lasts

ABOUT THIS WEBINAR

Most Indian students think Germany is only for Masters. They've never heard of Ausbildung — and that's exactly the problem.

Ausbildung is a government-recognised vocational training program in Germany where companies pay you a monthly salary while you train. No education loan. No blocked account. No IELTS. Just a real career pathway — starting from 12th pass.

In this free webinar, I'm sitting down with Priiya Rao, founder of Workpunkt (Berlin) and lecturer at Macromedia University Berlin, to break down exactly how Ausbildung works, who it's for, and how Indian students can actually get there.

What You'll Learn

• What Ausbildung actually is — and why it's one of Germany's best-kept secrets for Indian students
• Which sectors are open: healthcare, IT, engineering, logistics, hospitality, and more
• What the monthly salary looks like during training — and what you can earn after
• The language requirement reality — what level you need and how to get there
• The full process from profile evaluation to landing in Germany
• What Summer 2027 and Winter 2027 intakes mean for your timeline

Who Should Attend

• 12th pass students (or parents of 12th pass students) looking for a practical, affordable path to Germany
• Students who don't want to take an education loan but still want an international career
• Anyone who has heard about Germany for education but assumed it wasn't for them
