Practical example: Foreign trainees – Foreign trainees for the care sector

Foreign skilled workers can be an opportunity for companies in the healthcare sector. In particular, young people who come to Germany for training can complete their qualification here and start working straight away. Recruiting and training must be well prepared. Ulrike Werlitz from Seniorendomizil Haus Gabriel, who has already gained a lot of experience in training foreign nursing staff, also demonstrates this.

Get to know each other in advance

The first online application interviews begin several months in advance and allow us to get to know each other in detail. During the various interviews, it becomes clear whether the applicant is a good fit for the training company. If trainees show commitment and patience throughout this entire process, this has a positive effect on their chances of employment at Seniorendomizil Haus Gabriel. After the interviews, the necessary documents such as CV, passport copy and letter of application are sent to the training centre so that nothing can stand in the way of future training.

With an upstream language course to an apprenticeship

To prepare for their training in Germany, young people should arrive a few weeks before the start of their training if possible. This is possible with an upstream language course, which can be applied for with the preliminary examination. During the 20-hour language course, the future trainees already work at Haus Gabriel on a mini-job basis and can stay in the company flats free of charge. ‘It's a win-win situation for both sides,’ says Ulrike Werlitz, ’they can continue to learn the language and familiarise themselves with the building and everyday life in care before they start their training. They also earn a little pocket money for themselves.’

Balance between support and personal contribution

The trainees at Seniorendomizil Haus Gabriel have to complete a few steps on their own in advance. These include certificate recognition and organising a school place. The costs for notarising and translating the certificate and for the flight are borne independently. Ulrike Werlitz believes that the commitment and determination of the trainee is noticeable here. The Seniorendomizil Haus Gabriel then takes care of the rest, such as the cost of the flat before the training and the language course. When the trainees arrive in Germany for the first time, employees who have had the experience themselves help them to find their way around everyday life in Germany, make contacts, deal with the authorities and act as contacts in the event of problems. She advises other training companies to remain patient and committed in order to reach their goal successfully.
