Heart Project 03 · Funding idea in development
A recognised route into a distinctive profession
Training for the officially recognised German Revierjäger qualification teaches substantial knowledge about wildlife, habitats, nature conservation, legal foundations and responsible professional practice. People choosing this path take on responsibility for ecological balance and the sustainable management of nature.
The idea
Thinking about training and internships together
We want to examine how people on the path toward the officially recognised German Revierjäger qualification can be supported in a targeted way — for example through contributions toward training costs, connections to suitable training establishments and available training positions, as well as appropriate internship opportunities. Internships can offer valuable insight into the profession and help people make informed decisions about their future training path. We would like to collect suitable internship opportunities, coordinate them where possible with the Bundesverband Deutscher Berufsjäger (BDB), and add them to this page.
Supporters wanted – especially for the first year of training
We are looking for people and organisations willing to support prospective Revierjäger trainees and help fund their training. Our particular focus is on the first year of training: we want to help overcome financial barriers at the start.
We welcome interest from private supporters, businesses, foundations, associations, and hunting and forestry establishments. Possible forms of support include one-off or regular contributions, trainee sponsorships, support in kind, or the provision of accommodation.
Potential areas of support we would like to assess include accommodation and living costs, travel to school and internship placements, learning materials, and essential personal protective equipment and workwear. Which costs can be covered, and to what extent, will depend on available funds and funding conditions that have yet to be established.
If you would like to make support possible, recommend relevant funding programmes or introduce potential partners, please use our contact page with the subject “Revierjäger – support for the first year of training”. Please indicate the type, possible amount or scope, and duration of support you have in mind.
We are currently collecting expressions of interest. Funding, organisational responsibility, selection criteria and the use of funds must be established before any support programme begins. There is currently no funding commitment or application process.
Share training and internship opportunities
We collect information from across Germany, including establishments that are not listed in an association directory. Submissions are welcome regardless of BDB membership.
When contacting us, please include, where possible, the establishment, location and federal state, type of opportunity, dates or start date, number of places, entry requirements and a contact method. For training positions, please also provide details of recognition as a training establishment and the responsible authority, if known.
Please tell us which details we may publish after checking them. Use our contact page to send an opportunity or a lead. We review details before listing them and aim to consult appropriate professional bodies on specialist questions, including the BDB where possible.
We plan to add confirmed training and internship opportunities here over time. An establishment being mentioned does not in itself mean that a place is currently available.
Where we are
Current status
This project is at an early planning stage. There is currently no application process and no funding commitment. Once criteria and framework conditions are established, we will provide detailed information here.
Clearly separated
Transparency matters to us
SJH NORTHWAVE NETWORK clearly separates commercial income from public-interest projects. Any future support programme will only start once legal structure, responsibilities and use of funds are firmly established.
Contribute
Do you know a training or internship opportunity in Germany?
Do you know a suitable training establishment, an available training position or an internship opportunity for prospective Revierjäger in Germany? Write to us. We are particularly interested in additional internship opportunities that can be reviewed and, where appropriate, coordinated with the BDB. At this early stage, practical information and direct contacts are especially valuable.
