FAQ
What is a virtual fellowship program?
A virtual fellowship is a structured, short-term program where you work on real projects with companies or startups—completely online. You gain hands-on experience, mentorship, and a portfolio-ready project without relocating.
When does the program start?
The next cohorts begin October 2026, and then March 2027.
Book a complimentary Discovery Call with Yik via Calendly link for early access and exclusive bonuses.
How is the program delivered? Is this remote or in-person?
Both options are possible. We match based on your preferences.
For the first cohort in October 2026.
  • Live sessions on Google Meet or Zoom
  • Worksheets and recordings for flexible learning
  • Peer community for Q&A and support
How long is the fellowship?
Our program starts from 4 weeks, with live sessions, peer support, and a real project to complete by the end.
Who is this fellowship for?
  • Career changers looking to transition into tech, design, product, data, or marketing.
  • International professionals new to Germany seeking experience, guidance, and connections.
  • Anyone stuck in the “application loop” who wants to stand out in the job market.
Will I get mentorship?
Yes! Weekly constructive feedback from mentors will help you grow your skills and confidence.
Do you guarantee jobs?
Unfortunately, No. The purpose and success of fellowship program look different for each person. Everyone comes with unique goals, backgrounds, and timelines.
What Germatch guarantees is guidance, structure, and tools to help you:
  • Create a strong CV that resonates in the German market
  • Build confidence through evidence-based storytelling and interview practice
  • Develop a clear job search and networking strategy
These steps significantly increase your opportunities. A job offer depends on many external factors beyond our control.
Can I apply if I have a career gap?
Absolutely!
This program is designed to help professionals regain confidence, showcase skills, and bridge gaps in their career history.
Do I need prior German experience or work authorization?
No prior German work experience is required. We provide support and guidance for visa or legal questions if needed.
Is this legally considered an internship or employment?
We handle all legal, tax, and compliance requirements based on your location.
You’ll receive a clear, ready-to-sign agreement.
How much does it cost?
The program runs on a sliding scale depending on your income.
Scholarships are available for those affected by layoffs, unemployment, or students.
What’s included in the 6-month Membership?
The 6-month Membership is designed for professionals who want ongoing support beyond one round. It includes:
  • Access to all upcoming monthly workshops for 6 months
  • 4x 1:1 coaching sessions with Yik (valued at €180/hour)
  • Priority Q&A during group calls
  • Continued peer community access + shared resources

My Story
I began my career as an engineer, but soon realized my real passion is in people — connecting talent, culture, and opportunity to create impact.
From Thailand to Japan and now Germany, I’ve seen the challenges expats and career changers face: applications with no replies, struggles to be valued, or uncertainty in a new system.
That’s why I design programs that help people gain clarity, confidence, and belonging — while guiding organizations to rethink hiring so diverse talent can thrive.
My goal: build bridges so both people and companies grow with purpose and opportunity. 🌍
