Work in Germany in the occupation in which you have been trained
The Recognition Act has been in force since 2012 and makes it easier for persons with foreign professional and vocational qualifications to obtain recognition for these qualifications in Germany. BIBB is contributing towards the successful implementation of the new law by providing evaluation research and via the “Recognition in Germany” service portal.
Doing a top job – including in Germany
The "Recognition in Germany" portal provides information on how foreign professional and vocational qualifications can be recognised in Germany. Those seeking advice are able to take advantage of a service which guides them to the authority or chamber responsible for the occupation in question.
Occupational recognition for those interested in moving to Germany
In order to work in Germany in the occupation in which they have trained, foreign skilled workers need to obtain recognition for their qualification. BIBB is acting on behalf of the Federal Government to inform migrants of the recognition procedure before they enter Germany.
Recognition monitoring
How many people seek advice on the recognition of foreign professional and vocational qualifications? Does receiving such guidance automatically lead to an application for recognition? Results of the empirical studies carried out are published in an annual report by the BMBF.
