Foresight launches Germany and sets it to 2035. In these remaining 12 years, the government has an urgent mission: to increase the number of professionals for its companies and even in the health sector, which they have a special magnifying glass on.

To achieve the goals, the country must use immigrants to fill the vacancies and look to Latin America. The German government is sincere and has said in the voice of the Minister of Labour, Hubertus Heil, that it must get thousands of workers every year… from now until 2035.

Only in the health sector is “demand for nurses and staff specialized in elderly care high”.

There are currently about 40,000 job openings in hospitals, retirement homes and other care centers across the country,” government data shows, BBC Mundo reports.

Latin American professionals

Heil clarified the employment scenario in an interview with the Financial Times in May 2023. “If we do nothing, we will be short of 7 million workers by 2035,” he declared, published by BBC Mundo.

On the site tatsachen-ueber-deutschland.d they point out: “According to the Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce (DIHK, for the acronym in German), more than half of companies could not fill vacancies in 2021 because they there were unsuitable or suitable applicants, especially in the nursing and handicraft sector, but also in engineering and technical positions”.

Work in Germany as a nurse or doctor

A license from the state to practice the profession and accept employment. To obtain it, the state where you want to work (Germany consists of 16 federal states) determines whether the medical training in the country of origin is equivalent to the German one.

The first: the visa

If you don’t have a European passport, get a visa if you plan to migrate from Latin America to Germany.

Once the visa is granted, this medium emphasizes, “the government issues a residence permit of up to 18 months during which the applicant can standardize their professional qualification or undertake additional training.

Once you are approved and ready to work, you have one year to find a job that suits your profession”.
