Let’s explore with New Life the reasons why Germany has become one of the top destinations for workers globally.

1. A Brief Introduction to Germany

The Federal Republic of Germany is a beautiful country often referred to as the “heart of Europe,” known for its many world-famous landmarks. Germany shares borders with Denmark, Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands. If you have the opportunity to study and live in Germany, you can travel to 26 European countries at a very low cost and without needing a visa.

The capital and the seat of the German government are located in Berlin; some federal ministries are based in Bonn. Germany consists of 16 federal states.

Germany, with its long history of development, reflects the sophistication and hospitality of its people.

According to International Living magazine, Germany ranks fourth in the world for the best quality of life. The quality of healthcare insurance, high employment income, and the quality of infrastructure are consistently prioritized by the German government.

2. Job opportunities for young Vietnamese in Germany labor market

According to statistics from the Federal Statistical Office of Germany, as of March 2023, more than 50% of German companies are experiencing labor shortages. It is projected that by 2035, Germany will need an additional 7 million workers. These figures indicate that Germany is becoming an open job market for Vietnamese workers.

Workers in Germany, regardless of their nationality, enjoy privileges and benefits that are better than in many other countries. For example, in vocational training programs, students can earn between €800 and €1,100 per month in their first year, which is sufficient to cover basic living expenses in Germany. The salary for new graduates is around €2,300 to €2,500 per month, with salary increases based on the duration specified by the government.

In addition to traditional self-funded study abroad, in recent years, the Federal Republic of Germany has implemented programs to attract foreign workers, including vocational training and degree recognition for skilled labor. The requirements for these programs have also been continuously relaxed, such as lowering the German language proficiency requirement to B1 (previously B2) or A2 for certain professions.

Vocational training in Germany is an educational program where students receive both theoretical knowledge and practical experience at large companies in Germany while being paid. The skilled labor program is aimed at individuals who already hold a degree and have work experience. Through the recognition of previously obtained qualifications, workers will have their professional qualifications acknowledged to work at companies in Germany.

Every year, many young people from around the world come to Germany to study and work, becoming an inseparable part of the country’s development.

The Vietnamese community in Germany, with over 130,000 members, is living and working in the country. Their intelligence, skillfulness, diligence, and warmth have won the admiration of the German people and recognition from the German government.

Therefore, now more than ever, the German government is offering the best opportunities for Vietnamese youth to develop their careers through vocational training in Germany. Will you seize this opportunity with NEW LIFE?
