PRAXES – OFAJ Independent Internship

PRAXES is designed for young adults who want a practical internship in France or Germany without being enrolled at a university. OFAJ (Office franco-allemand pour la Jeunesse) provides the legal convention and an educational framework, solving a common barrier for independent internships. The participant normally has to find the host organisation, and language ability remains important. The programme is intended to turn international mobility into practical learning, professional exposure or a recognised training experience. Its value depends on clear learning objectives, appropriate supervision and realistic funding, while access may be organised through a school, training body, public service or partner organisation.
