Since 2006, the Rotary Club of Bern, Switzerland, has partnered with the Rotary Club of Essen-Baldeney, Germany, to arrange short vocational internships to help economically disadvantaged students at Essen’s Gustav-Heinemann-Gesamtschule (high school) choose a career path. Every March, the school conducts an orientation and teachers select three students for the internships, which last two to three weeks and take place between August and October. Their travel expenses and a small allowance are covered by the Essen-Baldeney club, while the Bern club lines up host families and internships based on the students’ interests.
