According to the new act, university graduates and those with vocational training qualifications count as skilled workers. However, this does not necessarily mean that they will only be able to work in that particular profession in Germany. Assuming they have appropriate qualifications, they can also take on a different job. In addition, regulations are also in place for people wishing to do vocational training or seek work in Germany. This requires them to meet specific criteria, however.

Labour Minister Hubertus Heil, talking about the reasons for the act, said: “Right now there are nearly 1.7 million vacant positions in Germany. That means there is already a shortage of workers, a gap that is only likely to widen in future.” “A modern country of immigration opens doors and hearts.”
