Partner Support Program
Would you like to share your work experience abroad with the family? We also offer comprehensive advice and support for your accompanying partner so that they can make the best possible use of their time abroad. We aim in particular to encourage activities in work and career, education and training or culture and volunteering. Partners have an allocated budget at their disposal for activities within these areas.
Going abroad with children
An assignment abroad is also a valuable and enriching experience for children that will have a lifelong impact. Even before you leave, we offer your family personalised advice on childcare and schooling options in the host countries and support you with all questions relating to crèche, kindergarten and school during the assignment and on your return.
Self initiated work abroad (SIWA)
As a Volkswagen employee, the SIWA programme gives you the opportunity to gain self-initiated international work experience in all phases of your life.
As a SIWA candidate, you can apply directly to a Group company abroad and receive a local employment contract for up to five years.
