Employment & Job Market in Germany

Germany offers a plethora of study opportunities for international students from all over the world. For many foreign students, Germany is an amazing workplace. German employees enjoy the highest salaries in the world, generous benefits and state-mandated job protection. In some industries, the working hours have been reduced to 35 hours/week.

A remarkable range of occupations is regulated in Germany, with many occupations requiring formal qualification. Germany has an apprenticeship system that needs most young workers to pass a 2 to 3-year hands-on training program before entering the real labour market, which guarantees they have the first-hand experience in work. For immigrants, this can mean you might be prevented from working in a job in which you have experience at home. If you do have a formal qualification (such as for doctors, nurses, and teachers, etc.), it needs to be certified by a competent German authority (usually a guild, trade or professional association).
