Brief newsletter: December 2024
Dear readers,
The holidays are just around the corner and an eventful year lies behind us. The recognition partnership has been in place since March and the Job search opportunity card since June. We at Make it in Germany have been following these and other legislative changes in the area of skilled labour immigration throughout the year and have comprehensively updated our portal. We are now also active on LinkedIn and Instagram, have welcomed almost 10,000 participants to our webinars and have networked with you at numerous events. We would like to thank you very much for this lively dialogue!
