Opportunities in Germany

Are you a GJU Alumni interested to pursue your career in Germany?

Germany has an increasing need for skilled and qualified labor since a significant number of open positions cannot be filled due to the lack of skilled labor (“Fachkräftemangel”). The German government has therefore introduced several legislative changes and measures to make it easier for foreign skilled workers to enter the German labor market. (Fachkräfteeinwanderungsgesetz - Fachkraefteeinwanderungsgesetz.de)
