Finding Skilled Workers from India
One pillar of the process of securing skilled workers is attracting qualified professionals from abroad who want to stay in Germany long-term. India is becoming increasingly important in this regard.
Since 2020, the Düsseldorf Chamber of Industry and Commerce has been one of 17 pilot locations in a project by the German federal government called ‘Hand in Hand for International Talents’ (HiH) (German only), which recruits skilled workers from countries like India and supports them in the process of integrating into German companies and society. If you are a company in Düsseldorf or the Mettmann area looking for skilled workers, you could potentially benefit from this scheme. You can find further information on the HiH project in this brochure from the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (German only).
GTAI has compiled important information on the structure of the Indian labour market on its website here (German only).
