Vocational Training & Qualification of International Professionals
Start Your Vocational Training in Germany
Germany offers first-class career opportunities through its dual vocational training system. Whether you are still looking for a placement or have already received an offer: the path to a visa and the formal requirements regarding language skills and school-leaving certificates can be challenging. Taunus Relocation accompanies you through your visa application for vocational training. We help you overcome the bureaucratic hurdles in the Rhine-Main region, allowing you to focus entirely on your new craft or profession.
Strategic Talent Pipeline: Service for HR Departments
The shortage of skilled workers makes the recruitment of trainees and talent from abroad essential. However, verifying the equivalence of qualifications and complying with visa requirements consumes significant capacity within your HR department. Taunus Relocation supports companies in bringing international junior talent on board efficiently and in compliance with regulations – from initial contact to the start of the training programme.
