The German language: The key to integration

Language skills can play an important role in the integration of the immigrant population, not only in the labour market but also in other areas of life. Learning German is a process that ideally begins before a person immigrates and continues after their arrival in Germany. It is also worthwhile for employers recruiting skilled workers from abroad to support this process. In this issue of our newsletter, you will learn how to ensure successful language support.

1.5 million people immigrated (net) to Germany in 2022 – a record level.

The federally funded vocational language courses prepare migrants for integration - with a focus on the labor market and profession. The courses differ in detail depending on the target group. The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) coordinates the courses throughout Germany and supports companies in organizing the appropriate language training for their employees.
