The Canadian Association of University Teachers of German (CAUTG), in co-operation with the Zentrale Arbeitsvermittlung (ZAV) and the Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD), organizes a program of work and travel in Germany from May until August each year. This program gives Canadian students looking for valuable work experience or want to improve their command of the German language the opportunity to work at summer jobs in Germany.

Through this program students will find employment in the tourist, service, or manufacturing industries and in business, for a six to twelve- week period, after which, if so arranged, they are free to travel. In most cases successful applicants receive salary or payment at various levels, though some positions may carry only a DAAD stipend.

Participants must pay their own fare to Germany, but will receive travel subsidies totalling not less than $650 from the DAAD and other sources to help to defray their costs. No work visa is required. Applicants should be in Intermediate German or higher for jobs requiring knowledge of German (some might not). Applications must go through your department advisor but have to be in the hands of the Program Director by January 15th of each year. 

Students from any discipline are eligible for this program.
