BMW is recruiting a small number of unemployed young Spaniards to work in Germany in a program to “give something back” to its customer countries.
Twenty-five workers aged 18 to 25 will be trained for a year at the carmaker’s headquarters in Munich, BMW personnel chief Milagros Caina-Andree told Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. “They should be immersed in German culture, possibly live with a BMW host family and work in development, sales, marketing or another area. After that, these young people can go back home or stay here,” she said.
