Professional Workers & Qualified Employees
Germany faces a labor shortage of approximately 400,000 workers by 2035, particularly in key sectors such as STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), construction, healthcare and geriatric care, and the social and education sectors. Recruiting young skilled workers and trainees from southern Mediterranean countries such as Egypt, Jordan, and Morocco for the German labor market is a crucial initiative that has yet to reach its full potential.
Young professionals from these countries bring not only their technical expertise but also high adaptability and a strong willingness to integrate. They demonstrate significant interest in advancing their professional careers and pursuing long-term residence in Germany compared to candidates from other regions. Their contributions can help bridge existing skills gaps in Germany and support the economic development of all participating countries.
The EMA bridges both sides: German employers and Arab talents. Through various initiatives, the EMA facilitates the recruitment of professional workers and qualified employees:
