Is your company a member of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK) and looking for a skilled worker in the fields of electrical engineering or computer science? The project "Hand in Hand for International Talents" recruits qualified professionals with vocational training in Brazil, India and Vietnam. The project supports companies through the entire process. You can get to know applicants at regular online recruiting days or already search for the right specialist in the short profile folders.
Are you a small or medium-sized enterprise located in one of the following regions and looking for a skilled worker in electronics (Koblenz), metal construction (Munich) or plant mechanics for sanitary, heating and air conditioning technology (Potsdam)? Benefit from the support of the HabiZu project funded by the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Action (BMWK) when recruiting qualified workers from Bosnia and Herzegovina. The project entails fair recruitment of skilled workers in the crafts and trades industry, while providing professional assistance throughout the whole process – the integration process in your company included. The project is brought to you by the German Confederation of Skilled Crafts (ZDH) and the Federal Employment Agency (BA) in cooperation with sequa as a partner in project management.

The Triple Win Project is implemented jointly by the Federal Employment Agency (BA) and the GIZ. The foundation of the project is formed by placement agreements between the BA and the partner countries' employment authorities (Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Philippines, India and Tunisia).
The partner authority organises the application procedure locally and checks the incoming applications according to formal criteria. The BA assesses the applicants' personal, professional and linguistic qualifications in individual selection interviews. A language test is part of the selection process: the GIZ offers language training for nursing professionals (level B1 of the Common European Reference Framework with technical terminology for nursing personnel), professional preparation for working in Germany as well as support in the integration and recognition process after arriving in Germany.
The new arrivals work as auxiliary nurses until their foreign qualification in the field of nursing and patient care has been recognised. This should take place within the first year of employment.
In this project, the BA's Central Placement Office (ZAV) recruits nursing professionals from Mexico and Brazil and selects them together with German clinics. Intensive support is provided by the ZAV during the subsequent German language courses with the aim of achieving recognition of the professional qualification and a successful employment in Germany. In this process, the BA works closely with partners in Latin America as well as in Germany in order to ensure a successful and fair immigration of skilled workers.
Is your company looking for staff? The THAMM project promotes fair and sustainable recruitment of trainees and skilled workers from North Africa for Germany. The project supports you in finding applicants with professional experience and good language skills. You will receive a comprehensive range of support services, including the selection of applicants, placement, and integration support after entry.
The PAM project (“partnership approaches for development-oriented training and labour migration”) implemented by the GIZ (German Society for International Cooperation) offers transnational partnerships which support the search for international qualified professionals and young talents. PAM currently provides access to international networks and advises companies who are active in the fields of cutting mechanics, construction, IT and early childhood education. You will receive help with administrative and legal questions, and you will be supported during the selection and entry process, for example by organising German language courses and by translating certificates.
UBAconnect is an offer for companies looking for skilled workers in the industrial-technical, commercial or skilled trades sectors.

The advisors at the Virtual Welcome Center (VWC) will show you the way forward.
