The ProRecognition Project provides counselling on recognition at a local level for skilled workers in several countries. The counselling is offered at the German Chambers of Commerce Abroad and Delegations of German Industry and Commerce.
Answers to the following questions are provided here:
ProRecognition is a project providing recognition counselling abroad. It is coordinated in close cooperation with the Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce (DIHK) by DIHK Service GmbH. The ProRecognition counselling centres are based in the German Chambers of Commerce Abroad and Delegations of German Industry and Commerce (AHK) in Algeria, Egypt, Brazil, India and Colombia.
ProRecognition provides counselling for foreign skilled workers at a local level on all questions relating to recognition: Is recognition possible for me with my qualification? What is the appropriate reference occupation? How and where do I make the application for recognition? Which documents are necessary? Where can I learn German? How do I find a job? ProRecognition supports and helps applicants, also during the procedure, and arranges applicant training or German courses.
Those wishing to take advantage of counselling should arrange an appointment in advance and find out which documents they need to bring with them. Further information about ProRecognition and about the individual counselling centres abroad is provided on the websites of the German Chambers of Commerce Abroad (AHK) and the Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce (DIHK).
The ProRecognition project was launched in 2015 and since then has been funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). In the second funding phase from 2020, three new locations had been added with Bosnia-Herzegovina, Brazil and Colombia.

“Many documents are needed for the vocational recognition. I have visited competent authorities in Germany and therefore understand the procedure in detail. I know what’s important for the application.”

“Algeria has only been providing counselling since Autumn 2018. We benefit from the experiences of experts in the seven other chambers of foreign trade which offer recognition counselling. I look forward to seeing you!”

“Germany is an attractive country for Brazilians. The labour market and the quality of life are viewed particularly positively. However, many Brazilians are poorly informed when it comes to recognition and job searching. AHK São Paulo is here to help.”

“If an Indian higher education qualification is equivalent to the German vocational education and training, the rules relating to residency often change. What changes? We explain it for you! Visit us for counselling about this.”

“As a German teacher, I was able to learn more about my students' dreams. Many of them dreamed of living and working in Germany. Today I can help make these dreams come true. Come to our consultation!”
