Industries
Trade businesses look for qualified workers with practice who can work on site on their own.
Trade businesses decide on ability. A trial day or a short task shown on video says more than any certificate.
Language is needed on site, above all for safety and for arrangements. A basic level is enough at the start when the business supports the induction.
Many candidates bring practice from construction and fitting out. They get to know German standards and materials in the business.
Firms with their own vehicles and organised journeys have an easier time. Without a driving licence and without transport links it gets hard for candidates.
Training, typical jobs and recognition differ from country to country. These pages put that into context for you.
Vocational upper schools, short degree programmes and tested competence records. Often asked for in care, hospitality, metal and construction.
A young population, college level training and a growing number of German courses. Often asked for in care, construction, logistics and production.
Production plants look for operators, assistants and skilled staff for series manufacturing.
Warehouses and dispatch centres need staff for picking, goods receipt and packing.
Companies look for technicians for maintenance, service and automation.
A completed requirement profile says far more than the name of an industry.
