My info is 15 years out of date, but at least at that point there were active programs for cultural exchange that placed american students at internships in Germany. Germany has an apprenticeship model (the "praktikum"), so interns flock there from all over the EU. Lots of spots available, so adding some Americans to the mix is easy. I wish I had more detailed info at my fingertips but try googling or reaching out to the embassy and places like Goethe Institut. I think this may be the program I was part of but not sure: http://www.cdsintl.org/internshipsabroad/iwagermany.php http://www.cdsintl.org/internshipsabroad/iwagermany.php
