noun

die Lehrstelle, -n

apprenticeship

Ein Ausbildungsplatz in einem Betrieb, an dem eine Person einen Beruf praktisch erlernt.

The German word "Lehrstelle" is a noun that means "apprenticeship position" or "training position". It is composed of the words "Lehre" (apprenticeship or training) and "Stelle" (place or position). "Lehrstelle" specifically refers to a job position where a person, usually a student or trainee, undergoes practical training in a specific trade or profession.

Similar words in German include "Ausbildungsplatz" (training place) and "Praktikumsplatz" (internship position).

The difference lies in their usage:

  • "Lehrstelle" is typically used in the context of formal apprenticeships, often in skilled trades.
  • "Ausbildungsplatz" can refer more generically to any type of training opportunity, not necessarily tied to a formal apprenticeship.
  • "Praktikumsplatz" generally refers to a temporary work experience that can provide practical knowledge related to a specific field, often in a broader educational context.
