Trainee IT specialists in Germany carry out a project in their company as part of their final examination. Before they start, they submit a written project description. Under the training regulation, it must describe the starting situation and the goal of the project and set out a schedule. The examination board must then approve it. The Chamber of Commerce in Nuremberg tells its trainees: Bevor Sie mit der Durchführung Ihrer Projektarbeit beginnen, müssen Sie die Genehmigung durch den Prüfungsausschuss abwarten. (Before you begin your project work, you must wait for the approval of the examination board.) At the Chamber of Commerce in Arnsberg, a trainee whose application is rejected receives the reasons by email, revises the application and submits it again.
