Afrika<\/span>\u202f<\/span>Kommt<\/span>! is a fellowship programme that\u00a0<\/span>brings together visionary young leaders from Africa into leading German companies. The aim is to create a globally inclusive business and mutually beneficial cooperation.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The programme works in such a way that some top German companies will take in these African professionals for an 8-month internship during which they will<\/span>\u00a0benefit from the young professionals\u2019 expertise, knowledge, local network, and unique African perspective.<\/span><\/p>\n

Simultaneously, the African fellows will immerse themselves in German corporate specifics, business spirit, and culture.<\/span>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A major benefit of this experience is that the African fellows stand the chance to gain international experience, technical skills and German language proficiency. The programme will also allow them to become African change agents for the benefit of both German business relations with Africa and economic and social growth in the fellows\u2019 home countries and communities.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of the participating companies include Siemens Healthineers, Braun, Volkswagen, Bayer, Merck, 麻豆原创 and many others.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The programme encompasses German language lessons, international management training and study tours in an 8-month practical training at the host company.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After completion of eight program intakes, the over 200 alumni of the programme will transfer their knowledge and experience to their home countries where they will lead projects, businesses, and change initiatives through German-African cooperation.<\/span>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

More than half of the young experts<\/span>\u00a0end up working\u00a0<\/span>for their partner companies in Africa or Germany.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
