Benefits for the Participants:

The Transatlantic Program is a valuable opportunity for U.S. college and university students to do an internship abroad and gain unique practical work experiences in a German host company.  The two- to six- months internship matches the academic background and career objectives of the participant. Building up bilateral business contacts and gaining an in-depth-knowledge of German business, politics and culture will help the student to grow professionally as well as personally.  

There will be a pre-internship Immersion Seminar in Berlin, a ten-day program consisting of German language-building activities, intercultural training and discussions. The group is brought together again for a Interim Seminar to share experiences and for internship review. The program has established a growing TAP Alumi network which includes an online platform for social and professional networking, yearly reunions, e-Newsletters and more.
