Skilled workers from abroad
Prepare. Qualify. Support.

Foreign skilled workers need programmes tailored to their needs. We are involved in projects worldwide to provide intensive language and intercultural preparation for the German labour market - in cooperation with partners and in our own projects.

This project allows skilled workers hoping to migrate to Germany and potential apprenticeship candidates from Brazil, Columbia and Mexico to receive preparatory language training free of charge in their country of origin. This project is a cooperative venture with the Federal Employment Agency.

We offer a support programme free of charge to individuals who wish to migrate to Germany on a long-term basis for work or private reasons, which starts in your origin country and covers travel to Germany, as well as the early days after arrival. 

We implement a broad-based policy for recruitment, qualification and professional development of German teachers, to ensure optimum use of the language course and exam capacities for qualification of skilled workers at locations with high potential for skilled workers.

As partners we are involved in quality assurance, as well as the development and revision of strategy documents central to the integration course system, for example the framework curriculum, the German test for migrants, or the teacher qualification.

Through our collaborative education services, we uphold the quality standards of language teaching, set up projects to facilitate networking, and broaden international perspectives. We work closely with local partners to meet their needs and update their skills.

Do you want to support your skilled workers optimally when they start work at your company in Germany? We offer individually tailored advice so that your skilled workers learn German efficiently and sustainably. With our competent teachers at Goethe-Institutes in Germany, nothing stands in the way of their success.

With the help of the Goethe-Institut, your employees acquire German language skills for the workplace, enabling them to communicate in the same language as your German-speaking clients, colleagues and partners. This creates the best possible basis for successful business relationships and collaborative teamwork. 

Learn German at Goethe-Institutes abroad and prepare for life in Germany: we offer German courses, German exams and intercultural training to ensure a successful arrival in Germany and rapid integration in the workplace.

Thanks to our large network, we are the perfect partner to support you in recruiting skilled labour. Due to uniform standards, skilled workers abroad can prepare themselves in a targeted manner and build on their progress at the Goethe-Instituts in Germany.

Many young people from Central and South America learn German as a foreign language at PASCH schools or schools supported by the Goethe-Institut as part of educational cooperation. Interest in career prospects in Germany is growing, and the demand for training in the health sector plays a special role here.
