Projects worldwide

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.

Fit for the German employment market

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.

  • Vocational training partnerships (APAL)

    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.

    The Goethe-Institut Vietnam offers tailored language courses with specialist language elements for those hoping to take up a position in the care sector. The project is a cooperative venture involving the Vivantes care group and the Vietnamese Ministry for Labour and Social Affairs.
