DEHOGA Brandenburg presents a new digital offering: brandenburg-hospitality.com. For the first time, the portal brings together all Erasmus+ internship opportunities offered by member companies and makes them visible to international young professionals – in a modern web design and in English.

Internship opportunities at a glance

At the heart of the platform is the Erasmus+ catalogue, which is already familiar to many partners in its print edition. Now the offers are also available online. Students, graduates and young professionals can search here for specific internship opportunities in Brandenburg’s hospitality industry – from hotels and restaurants to tourist facilities.

Practical, authentic, direct

In addition to information about the companies themselves, the blog section features testimonials from interns who share their experiences: What is everyday life like in a hotel or restaurant? What challenges do international internships bring? What opportunities arise? These authentic insights are intended to encourage and provide guidance.

More than just an internship portal

The online offering is deliberately designed as an information and service platform:

• A download area provides information on the most important aspects of the European Erasmus+ programme.
• Interested parties can contact the companies directly and apply for an internship in a straightforward manner.
• The portal also presents the services offered by the DEHOGA Brandenburg project office for European cooperation partners.

Capacity building as a guiding principle

The new portal is closely linked to the objectives of the TourX project. A central element of this collaboration is capacity building – the systematic development of skills, structures and networks to strengthen the quality and sustainability of vocational training in the hospitality industry in the long term.

Capacity building means here:

• Companies are enabled to professionally welcome international interns and benefit from their expertise.
• Vocational training institutions gain practical partners and feedback that they can integrate into their curricula.
• Participants gain additional skills through their experiences abroad, which improve their employability and career opportunities.

This triad creates a European structure of excellence that both strengthens the regional industry and raises the profile of Brandenburg as a training and internship location within the European network.

Contribution to internationalisation

Under the motto ‘Brandenburg – your next step in your career’, perspectives are presented that connect the regional hospitality industry with the European Centres of Vocational Excellence. brandenburg-hospitality.com is thus more than just an information portal: it is an active building block for promoting internationalisation, establishing new partnerships and making it easier for young people to take the step to Brandenburg.

With brandenburg-hospitality.com, Brandenburg’s hospitality industry is becoming even more visible internationally. Those interested in internships will not only find suitable offers here, but also valuable background information and experience reports. The portal also provides practical insight into the capacity-building approach of the TourX project. It offers real added value for anyone who wants to take the plunge and move abroad – and is an invitation to the industry to open its doors wide to European talent.
