Germany’s skilled labor shortage - Helping migrants find work | DW Documentary

Germany is trying to recruit people from abroad to fill the skilled labor shortage. But many refugees and migrants located in the country struggle to find work. Voluntary initiatives and companies are trying to support migrants by helping them overcome bureaucratic obstacles and make professional contacts. Germany is in urgent need of skilled workers. But could it be better at tapping existing potential? Only 7 percent of refugees who came to Germany between 2013 and 2019 were employed after being here for a year. Asylum seekers face work bans and drawn-out applications, among other obstacles preventing them from entering the job market. But learning German, getting their qualifications recognized, and obtaining the right training can also be very difficult. At the ReDI School of Digital Integration in Munich, training applicants have to prove - first and foremost - that they are highly motivated. The non-profit organization offers free IT training places to refugees, migrants and underprivileged locals. Classes at the school are taught by volunteer tech experts and experienced professionals like IT consultant Michael Maag. As well as offering programming courses, practical projects, and job application training, the ReDi School of Digital Integration has good contacts in the industry. Qualified graduates are often snapped up even if paperwork is still pending. Most find a job within 18 months. Nadiia Andrushchenko, a Ukrainian lawyer, whose qualifications are not recognized in Germany, is relieved to finally have found work with the school’s help. In Saarbrücken, Stefanie Valcic-Manstein supports refugees and migrants on their path to self-employment, as part of a one-year program called Perspektive Neustart that aims to create more inclusive entrepreneurship in Germany. The program offers individual support with business issues, helps them navigate their way through Germany’s bureaucratic jungle, and provides contacts to potential customers and investors. Reza Haidari used to be Afghanistan's deputy energy minister before he fled the Taliban in 2021. The Perspektive Neustart program helped him start his own business. Now, Haidari advises companies that want to reduce their CO2 emissions. #documentary #dwdocumentary #dwdocs #germany #labor #jobseekers ______ DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.
