New platform Internship Lausitz” brings students and companies together!

The new central online platform “Internship Lausitz” saw the light of day on June 30, 2025 and promises to bring students, parents, teachers and companies in the Cottbus region and the surrounding area closer together. The platform can be reached at www.praktikum-lausitz.de and brings together various offers for student internships in the districts of Dahme-Spreewald, Elbe-Elster, Oberspreewald-Lausitz and Spree-Neiße. Everyone involved has a good hand, because the initiative is supported by well-known project partners such as the Cottbus Chamber of Crafts, the Cottbus Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Lausitz Economic Region GmbH and the city of Cottbus niederlausitz-aktuell.de reports.

The big goal of this platform? To strengthen internships as a springboard into the professional world. What is particularly pleasing is that around 50 percent of students find their training position through previous internships. Therefore, it is time for them to have easy access to these opportunities.

User-friendly and effective

The platform is characterized by its user-friendly design. Students can filter by time period and industry and have the opportunity to see available internship positions in real time. Digital software ensures that supply and demand are automatically brought together. When applying, you don't need to use traditional documents such as a cover letter or CV - everything can be done digitally. This saves both companies and students a lot of time and effort, which is particularly advantageous in today's fast-moving times.

For companies, the placement of internships is also free of charge and is easy to use without much administrative effort. This central platform replaces several existing portals and significantly simplifies the process. Voices from the project emphasize how much this platform supports students and companies - this gives hope for a successful connection.

An important contribution to securing skilled workers

Another positive aspect of the “Internship Lausitz” platform is its contribution to structural change in the region. By introducing students to companies at an early stage, it actively contributes to securing skilled workers. More information and specific details can also be found on the official website of the city of Cottbus at cottbus.de.

In addition, the Federal Employment Agency shows that student internships offer an excellent opportunity to test out your career aspirations. This regional contact point for internships plays a crucial role in paving the way for young people to enter the world of work.
