We can discuss the specific details and timelines in an individual conversation or further coordination with you.
How many skilled workers are missing in Germany?
Germany is facing a significant challenge - a net demand of approximately 400,000 additional workers per year that cannot be met from within Germany or Europe. This demand puts Germany in competition with other Western industrial nations, especially English-speaking countries. The problem will worsen in the coming years due to the increasing retirement of the "Baby Boomer" generation.
How do you support the integration of skilled professionals recruited from Kenya into our corporate culture and work environment?
We provide comprehensive support during the integration process. This includes offering orientation and cultural training, mentoring programmes, and personal assistance to ensure that skilled professionals quickly adapt to our company and the new work environment.
Why does Skillution initially focus on the mobility sector?
Especially in the middle and lower wage segments, the competition for qualified employees is expected to reach an unprecedented intensity. A recent study by Roland Berger estimates the demand for skilled workers in public local and long-distance transport in Germany by 2030 to be around 100,000 people. Already today, there is a noticeable shortage of personnel in this sector.
Public transport companies, which play an essential role in providing basic services, have a heightened interest in remaining functional. Without immigration, it will be unavoidable to significantly restrict services in local and long-distance transport.
How do you ensure the quality and qualification of skilled professionals recruited from Kenya?
We conduct a structured selection process, identifying skilled professionals with extensive work experience and relevant qualifications. We carefully assess their professional references, skills, and ensure they meet the requirements of the respective position.
What measures do you take to ensure that skilled professionals recruited from Kenya have sufficient knowledge of German?
Before departure to Germany, we organize intensive German courses for the selected skilled professionals. We place great emphasis on language proficiency to ensure effective communication and integration in the workplace.
Aren't we taking away important workers from these countries?
The skilled professionals come from countries with a high level of education and high unemployment rates. This allows us to meet the demands of transport companies for excellence while ensuring that there is no shortage of personnel in the countries of origin, which could lead to negative debates in Germany.
