Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange
for Young Professionals
The Congress-Bundestag
Youth Exchange Program began in 1983 as part of
the President's International Youth Exchange Initiative.
This program was established as a symbol of friendship
between USA and Germany in celebration of 300 years
of German immigration to the United States.
Through the program, the governments of the United
States and the Federal Republic of Germany have provided
more than 13,000 young Germans and Americans with an
opportunity to make transatlantic friendships.
The Young Professionals Program, which has participants
in technical, business, agricultural and vocational
fields, is part of the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange
Program. In an average year, approximately one hundred
German participants travel to the United States on the
Young Professionals Program, and more than fifty Americans
go to Germany. Participants spend nearly a year in their
respective host countries, during which time they will
live with a host family, study and work.
NTC students interested in going to Germany are welcome
to stop by International office in Room B101 on the
Wausau campus. To find out more about this exchange
