To secure employment in Germany:
The Federal Employment Agency (Bundesagentur für Arbeit, BA) in Germany is extending a warm welcome to healthcare professionals from around the world, particularly those from Mexico, Colombia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Philippines, Tunisia, Indonesia, Kerala (India), Urdu-speaking regions, Vietnam, and more.
Key programs and support initiatives designed to facilitate the integration of foreign healthcare workers include:
- “Specialized!” Program: This program offers targeted assistance to foreign medical doctors from countries such as Mexico and Colombia. It includes profession-related language courses, help with the recognition process of medical qualifications, and support in accessing exclusive job opportunities in German hospitals and healthcare centres.
- Triple Win Programme: This collaborative program, in partnership with Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), is specifically designed for skilled workers in nursing and healthcare, particularly from the Philippines. The program provides German language training in the home country, facilitates the recognition of professional qualifications, and helps place candidates into suitable German healthcare jobs.
- International and Specialized Services (ZAV): The BA's ZAV division provides German language courses and various preparatory training for healthcare professionals to improve language skills, which are crucial for licensing and employment in Germany.
- Professional Recognition Support: The BA collaborates with competent authorities at the federal state level and professional bodies to guide foreign healthcare workers through the qualification recognition and licensure process.
- Job Placement Network: The BA has a wide hospital network offering job placement services for qualified foreign healthcare professionals in clinics and medical centers across Germany.
- Freiburg International Academy (FIA) Participation: FIA works with the BA's Specialized! Program to deliver profession-specific language and qualification courses. This academy has training centers helping international doctors, dentists, and pharmacists prepare for their professional recognition and integration.
For broader healthcare roles like nurses, pediatric nurses, geriatric nurses, intensive care nurses, operating room nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, and midwives, the BA ensures they meet necessary qualifications and German language proficiency to access a range of healthcare jobs.
In addition, the Triple Win program is seeking young individuals with experience in the care sector for a three-year training program in Vietnam, leading to employment. Current job listings for these positions can be found on the BA's website.
These initiatives cover German language training tailored for healthcare contexts, guidance and funding for qualification recognition, job placement assistance in German hospitals and care centers, and collaborative training courses at institutions like the FIA Academy for professions including doctors and specialized nurses.
The Triple Win program is not exclusive to hospitals, and it is not limited to healthcare professionals and healthcare assistants. It is a separate initiative from the collaborations between the BA and national employment agencies, such as Mexico's national employment agency.
The ZAV institution supports international professionals in obtaining vocational training or employment in Germany, focusing on specialized healthcare professionals and healthcare assistants. The BA directs international job seekers to German employers through state programs, currently seeking specialized healthcare professionals and nurses for all hospitals in Germany.
For country-specific information, please visit the BA's website. The BA is expanding its international recruitment efforts to Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Philippines, Tunisia, Indonesia, Kerala, and Urdu regions, seeking trained healthcare assistants from these countries through the Triple Win program.
In summary, programs like Specialized!, Triple Win, and coordinated language and recognition support through the BA and its International Services are central pillars to helping international healthcare workers from a wide range of countries integrate professionally into Germany's healthcare sector.
