Building bridges
International Migration Services

In 2011, the Internationaler Bund e.V. (IB) began setting up the International Migration Services - placement of skilled workers from abroad - to help unemployed young adults from abroad to find a job in Germany. Every year, the IB helps around 300 people to enter working life in Germany.

The IB offers modular services such as language and integration courses, accommodation and support for you as a job seeker. You, as a well-trained and motivated professional, learn German in intensive language courses and live in accommodation provided by the IB.

Our goal as an organization is to ensure the fulfillment of obligations and rules in the overall process during your recruitment and placement process, based on the following principles:  

• The voluntary commitment to fair and ethical recruitment and placement practices in accordance with the six guiding principles of the RAL Quality Mark "Fair Recruitment Care Germany", namely
  •  Written form for verifiability
  • Free of charge placement process for care professionals
  • Limitation of the economic risk for care professionals
  • Transparency regarding structures, services and costs
  • Sustainability and participation
  • Overall responsibility for the complete service chain
• The declaration of principle of a voluntary commitment to comply with the WHO Global Code of Practice on the International Recruitment of Health Personnel
• The declaration of principle of a voluntary commitment to comply with international human rights standards, in particular
  • the ILO core labor standards
  • ILO General Principles and Operational Guidelines on Fair Recruitment and Definition of Recruitment Fees and Related Costs
  • the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights
  • and international UN human rights conventions
• The declaration of principle of a self-commitment to the effect that the nurse
  • neither direct or indirect brokerage costs
  • nor costs for services directly related to the brokerage are to be collected [employer pays principle]. This applies to the entire service chain.
• The declaration of principle of a voluntary commitment,
  • to waive commitment and repayment obligations in the placement contracts with care professionals, taking into account the exceptions mentioned
  • not to place people in employment contracts that contain commitment and repayment obligations relating to the costs of the placements
• The policy statement is communicated publicly and in a way that is appropriate for the target group.

As a skilled worker, you will be recruited abroad and then (further) qualified for the labor market in Germany. Your future employers, who are looking for skilled workers, are supported by the IB partner organizations abroad, which take over the pre-selection process. Their recruitment - e.g. as nurses in hospitals - is carried out by the IB, its partners and the clients (employers).

Employers define the criteria for the job profile in cooperation with the partners in the respective countries. You will be selected following a pre-selection process in your home country. The IB will take particular account of your level of qualification. You should have at least the required professional training, the relevant university degree or the necessary professional qualifications. As skilled workers from EU countries and third countries, you will be integrated into life and work in Germany.

Education in Germany

The IB also supports you as a young adult from abroad in your search for a training place in Germany. Similar to the search for skilled workers abroad, the IB is responsible for your accommodation, language qualifications, integration and support.

Particular attention is paid to your minimum qualifications. The prerequisite is a general higher education entrance qualification (Abitur). An examination of the requirements will be carried out in advance. Suitable applicants are selected together with the employer and the partner in the respective country. In some cases, funding is available, for example from the Federal Employment Agency.
