Make it in Germany – We will keep you up to date

02 April 2020 – The current corona crisis is affecting people all over the world and is also imposing a number of restrictions on us. It is changing our everyday life, the way we deal with our fellow human beings, as well as our work environment. For many visitors and users of "Make it in Germany", however, the current situation also leads to the fact that career goals in Germany and very specific future plans cannot be realized for the time being. Despite these uncertain times, we remain optimistic about future plans not falling apart but only needing to be put "on hold". In the meantime, we continue to work and develop new offers for you.
