Crafty Summer soirees secured with Minister Boos-John's announcement
Guaranteed Awards for Vacation Training Apprenticeships in Craft Professions by Minister Announced - Government Official Proposes Financial Incentive for Artisans During Vacation Periods
Looks like Thuringia's giving a generous 150k this year for students diving into the crafts scene during their summer breaks! This tidbit dropped by none other than Economics Minister Colette Boos-John (CDU) in a lively Landtag powwow in Erfurt. That's right, kids, this means holiday internships in the crafts sector are back on the menu!
Crafts meisters in Thuringia had been hollering for more of this internship dough due to high demand, and it seems the elders have taken heed. Previously, a mere 105k was dished out from Thuringia's state coffers in 2024 for the cause. Last year, approximately 500 students gleefully seized the crafty business offers from Thuringia's three crafts chambers, each taking home 120 euros a week while soaking up knowledge and skill.
The Thuringian crafts world, boasting around 28k businesses, gives a home to nearly 8k resourceful young trainees. Get your aprons ready, 'cause these holidays are the perfect chance to dive into the handcrafted life in Thuringia!

The increased community aid of 150k by Thuringia's government this year will undoubtedly encourage more students to participate in crafty summer soirees, enhancing their education-and-self-development through hands-on learning in the crafts sector. Furthermore, the boost in aid for the production of agricultural products could potentially encourage more young trainees to explore and acquire skills in Thuringia's rich agricultural landscape.
