JYM Internship Program with ThyssenKrupp Steel

JYM is pleased to announce an exclusive, paid internship program in Germany for US engineering students. The program begins with an 8-week internship at ThyssenKrupp Steel in northwestern Germany, followed by a semester of studies in Munich.

What makes this program unique?

This program has been designed exclusively for students enrolled in BS/BA dual-degree or certificate programs in German and Engineering in the US.

Unlike many other engineering internship programs in Germany for US students, prior German language is required (three semesters or the equivalent).

As an intern at ThyssenKrupp Steel AG, you'll have an exceptional opportunity to obtain hands-on experience in research or production with one of the world's leading steel producing companies. In addition, you'll also learn first-hand about the global steel industry, the skill sets that constitute preferred competencies within the industry, and potential employment opportunities.

And finally, after you complete your internship at ThyssenKrupp Steel AG in northwestern Germany, you'll travel south to the Bavarian capital of Munich where you'll join up with JYM for our second semester program. This internship program is ideal for students enrolled in BS/BA dual-degree or certificate programs in German and Engineering in the US.

What type of internships are available?

Depending on your interest, internships may be arranged for students of materials & metallurgical engineering, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, or electrical engineering.

Where will the internship take place?

The internship will be individually customized to match your area of interest. Depending on your area of interest, you may be placed in Duisburg (crude steel production and heavy plate steelmaking), Dortmund (rolling mills and coating plants for the automobile industry), or Bochum (industry, distribution, services). Our partners at ThyssenKrupp Steel will assist you with finding housing during the time of your internship.
