Score a Crafty Holiday with Thuringia's Skill-Boosting Internships! 💼🎨
Secured Grant for Vacation Internships in Artistic Pursuits by Minister - Government Official Announces Bonus for Skilled Artisans During Summer Break
Got your eyes set on a future in the crafts scene? Thuringia's got your back! This year, a generous sum of 150,000 euros is earmarked to pump up the student internships in the crafty biz. This announcement, dropped by none other than Colette Boos-John (CDU), the mover and shaker in the Landtag, Erfurt, means the return of funded internships during the summer break. The people in Thuringia's craft sector have been singing its praises, pointing out a high demand and advocating for an extension of this fantastic program.
In 2024, a cool 105,000 euros were already doled out from the state coffers. According to Thuringian Craftsmen's Day, a whopping 500 students took advantage of trade offers from Thuringia's three chambers of crafts last year. Here's what you can look forward to this year: up to 120 euros every week for an internship during that sweet, sunny vacation time!
The craft sector, with a whopping 28,000 businesses, is a huge employer in the state of Thuringia. Currently, approximately 8,000 young whippersnappers are being trained in the crafty arts of Thuringia.
Fun Fact: Did you know that 75% of Thuringian craft businesses are family-owned, and most are micro-enterprises, each employing fewer than 10 people?
