Free ISIC card for union members

As a member of IG Metall or ver.di, you’ll receive the ISIC card free of charge for the entire duration of your apprenticeship or studies. Find out here why it’s still worth being a member during this time.

Joining a union could be beneficial for you, too. Do you have questions about your employment contract, or do you need advice regarding a reference letter, termination, or an internship? Unions offer comprehensive guidance on starting your career and will help you understand your rights.

The German Trade Union Confederation (DGB) provides a helpful overview of its member unions. Which union you belong to depends on the industry in which you work. You can find an overview of the unions affiliated with the DGB here.
