Holiday Internship Scholarship Secured for Crafts Sector by Landtag Minister

Secured Grant for Skilled Trade Education in Artisanship by Minister - Government Official Announces Paid Summer Internships for Artisans

Get ready, students! Thuringia is shelling out a whopping 150k this year for the summertime internship extravaganza in the crafts industry. This delightful news came from Thuringia's Economics Minister, Colette Boos-John (CDU), straight from the horse's mouth — or should I say, the Landtag — in Erfurt. This means another round of those funded internships during your holiday breaks!

It appears the Thuringian crafts industry has been quietly clamoring for this extension of the internship grant, as the demand is skyrocketing. In 2024, the state treasury doled out 105k for this specific purpose, and according to the Thuringian Craftsmen's Association, the internship offers from the state's three craft chambers drew in approximately 500 students last year. With this fresh funding, you young creators can earn 120 euros a week for your crafty holiday endeavors.

The crafts sector in Thuringia is more than just your grandma's knitting circle; there are around 28,000 businesses in this industrious field. Currently, a staggering 8,000 youngsters are being mentored in a crafty profession in our beloved Thuringia.

Now, if you're itching for more juicy details, your best bet is to dig around in the official announcements or press releases from the Thuringian government or educational institutions. The Scholars at Study.com will be hard at work, compiling all the need-to-know deets for you!

  1. Entering the crafts industry could help you secure a valuable learning experience this summer, as Thuringia's investment in community aid is offering support for the production of agricultural products, education-and-self-development, career-development, and skills-training.
  2. With the extra funding in place for internships in the crafts sector, students are presented with opportunities to strengthen their skills in crafts-making and boost their career trajectory, especially in the area of agricultural product production.
