Uzbekistan and Germany are teaming up to launch initiatives aimed at improving language skills for individuals seeking work opportunities in Germany. The Agency for External Labor Migration will lead these efforts in partnership with the German Federal Employment Agency, focusing on providing tailored language training for construction specialists and artisans destined for work and study in Germany.
The initiatives cater to two groups:
Program for Qualified Specialists: Targeting individuals aged 20 to 40 with relevant diplomas and at least one year of work experience. It provides language training to prepare them for employment in Germany.
Program for Vocational Education: For young Uzbek citizens aged 18 to 30 without diplomas, this program prepares them for vocational education in Germany.
In January, Uzbekistan's Minister of Poverty Alleviation and Employment, Behzod Musayev, recently met with Professor Frederik Wenz, Director General of Freiburg University Clinic, to address the growing need for medical professionals from Uzbekistan in Germany. Wenz emphasized a severe shortage of over 10,000 medical workers across 11,000 medical facilities in Germany, stressing the urgent requirement for a significant influx of professionals from Uzbekistan to address this gap. Furthermore, Wenz highlighted an increased demand for workers in other roles such as cooks, drivers, and technicians within medical institutions.
In February, German companies were planning to hire an impressive 50,000 migrant workers from Uzbekistan. This effort is geared towards fulfilling workforce requirements across diverse sectors and providing employment prospects for citizens of Uzbekistan.
