Young people from Namibia: Training against the shortage of skilled workers in Berlin!

The new training center in Windhuk, Namibia, will train young people in the future to combat the shortage of skilled workers in Germany. Under the direction of the Berlin Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IHK), the center is to cover professions with great needs such as commercial, commercial professions and hospitals. "We have to break new ground in order to close the growing skilled worker," said IHK President Sebastian Stizel of the German Press Agency. The young people are trained according to German standards and learn German beforehand. This eliminates a lengthy recognition procedure, and the trainees can be integrated directly into the Berlin labor market as soon as they pass their exams.

The project not only aims to train specialists for Germany, but also to combat youth unemployment in Namibia, which is around 50 percent. The authorities in Windhuk support the initiative and a declaration of intent to establish the training center is to be signed this autumn. This project marks a further step in the 25-year partnership between Berlin and Windhuk, which will be celebrated next year www.rbb24.de .
