Germany may allow Ukrainians to work without language proficiency
The German
Association of Towns and Municipalities (DStGB) has suggested allowing
Ukrainian nationals to apply for jobs without knowledge of German to facilitate
their integration, German TV news program Tagesschau reported on April 1.
DStGB Managing Director, Andre Berghegger, said that Germany needs to “ignite an integration turbo” to shore up its economy.
“We are still too bureaucratic and inflexible when it comes to labor market integration,” said Berghegger.
“In order to really use the potential for our labor market, we must ignite an integration turbo in Germany. It should be possible to start work without having to complete language and integration courses beforehand”
He added that Germany must be ready for a sustained stream of Ukrainian refugees, with most of those settle in the country being unlikely to return to Ukraine in near future.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
