00:00:00.834 --> 00:00:04.204
The recognition of foreign professional qualifications

00:00:04.204 --> 00:00:06.706
and the new Skilled Immigration Act.

00:00:07.474 --> 00:00:12.212
Immigration is made easier, but recognition remains important.

00:00:13.480 --> 00:00:16.383
The new law on skilled worker immigration makes it easier

00:00:16.383 --> 00:00:18.852
for skilled workers to immigrate to Germany.

00:00:20.987 --> 00:00:25.925
In many occupations, skilled workers can now enter Germany
and practise a profession

00:00:25.925 --> 00:00:28.928
without recognition of their professional qualifications.

00:00:29.496 --> 00:00:32.032
Recognition remains important.

00:00:32.032 --> 00:00:35.035
It can bring advantages for all occupations.

00:00:35.035 --> 00:00:37.070
For some it is necessary.

00:00:38.071 --> 00:00:42.575
Recognition allows skilled workers in regulated professions, such as doctor,

00:00:42.575 --> 00:00:46.780
teacher or engineer, to work in Germany in the occupation they‘re trained in.

00:00:47.580 --> 00:00:52.685
Under certain conditions, the recognition procedure
can now also take place after entry,

00:00:52.685 --> 00:00:55.889
for example as part of a recognition partnership.

00:00:57.023 --> 00:00:58.758
In any case:

00:00:58.758 --> 00:01:02.395
recognition can also be helpful for all other occupations.

00:01:03.029 --> 00:01:07.300
There are lots of advantages to the recognition
of foreign professional qualifications

00:01:07.300 --> 00:01:10.437
for both: skilled workers and employers.

00:01:12.205 --> 00:01:14.741
Evidence shows it makes it easier for skilled workers

00:01:14.741 --> 00:01:16.810
to enter the German labour market,

00:01:16.810 --> 00:01:21.081
increases their job opportunities and therefore the likelihood of finding a job

00:01:21.081 --> 00:01:23.817
appropriate to the level of their qualification.

00:01:24.551 --> 00:01:27.420
Recognition has a positive impact on income

00:01:27.420 --> 00:01:31.891
and improves opportunities for further training and workplace promotion.

00:01:33.259 --> 00:01:35.862
Following successful recognition,

00:01:36.229 --> 00:01:41.101
skilled workers often feel more accepted and valued
by the employer and the business.

00:01:41.935 --> 00:01:44.938
Recognition helps employers to better assess the skills

00:01:44.938 --> 00:01:47.574
and knowledge of the skilled worker.

00:01:49.409 --> 00:01:52.245
Recognition increases the likelihood of the skilled worker

00:01:52.245 --> 00:01:54.481
to permanently remain in Germany.

00:01:54.881 --> 00:01:57.484
It also supports integration within the company

00:01:57.484 --> 00:02:00.353
and maintains the level of qualifications.

00:02:01.821 --> 00:02:04.224
Professional recognition is a good investment

00:02:04.224 --> 00:02:06.860
in a professional future in Germany.
