GAIDI raises awareness of relocation opportunities to Germany

To raise awareness about pathways for regular migration to Germany GAIDI, the Berlin-based non-profit social organisation, held an online information session for Nigerian youths on 11 March.

Entitled, “From Nigeria to Germany” and held in collaboration with Relocation Mobility DeLiz, the event focused on vocational training and employment opportunities for nationals of non-EU countries in Germany.

The event, attended not only by Nigerians but also by people from Uganda, Kenya and Cameroon, was to inform young people of the relocation opportunities to Germany, especially as a result of the country’s expanded Skilled Immigration Act.

German employers are short of hundreds of thousands of workers. IT and technology, medical care, contractor fields, technology and logistics are among the hardest hit sectors.

The reworked Skilled Immigration Act, which Germany's parliament, the Bundestag, passed in the summer of 2023, aims to quickly lower the barriers to immigration of skilled workers from countries outside the European Union.

The legislation expands the opportunities for nationals of non-EU countries to migrate legally to Germany for the purpose of work and training.

The expert speakers, Femi Awoniyi and Dele Odusoga, explained the latest developments in Germany’s migration laws and how to access the new opportunities they entail for training and employment in Germany.

In the question-and-answer session, the speakers addressed the inquiries of the participants on the processes of legal migration.

The next virtual information session will take place at a date to be announced in April.
