A Focus on the US

For the Joachim Herz Foundation – one of Germany’s largest foundations – projects with and within the United States play an especially important role on account of its founder’s close ties with the country. See below how our special affinity with the United States of America is reflected in many projects that we are involved in.

Information for possible host organizations in Georgia

The Joachim Herz Foundation offers an internship program for trainees who want to gain on-the-job experience in the United States. With its “Azubis Go USA” project, the Joachim Herz Foundation leads the way in terms of German–American trainee exchange programs.

Due to the founder’s and the Foundation’s long-standing ties to the state of Georgia, the Joachim Herz Stiftung and its partners are looking for companies and nonprofit organizations from different industries in Georgia that are willing to accept an intern for a period of two months.

Hosting a trainee provides a number of benefits to your organizations. If you are interested in becoming a host organization for this project or if you have any questions about our activities, please feel free to contact us.
