What is the Bildungsurlaub?

Bildungsurlaub (educational leave) allows employees in Germany to take paid time off work for further education and professional development. Language courses count as recognised training because they improve your communication skills, confidence in international environments and long-term career prospects.

• Improve your English for work and international communication
