Thousands of workers eagerly await March 1. From March 1 in Germany, the new rules on the qualification of skilled labor force come into force.
The good news in the new law is the abolition of the criterion that a company must first try to find a person in Germany or the European Union, and only then hire a candidate outside the EU.
The great news is that candidates with vocational qualifications if they have adequate knowledge of German and if they have a guarantee of support will be able to come to Germany in six months to look for work.
There are currently about 1.4 million vacancies in Germany. The most scarce staff are healthcare professionals, doctors, physiotherapists, nurses, IT professionals, engineers and craftsmen in the construction industry, followed by aviation, mechatronics, electrical, energy technology and many more.
Persons older than 45 years should also be offered a contract of employment with a certain minimum wage or proof of guaranteed subsistence funds.
Persons under the age of 25 with a secondary education will be able to stay in Germany for a maximum of six months in order to apply for further vocational training.
