Startfinder provides referrals to opportunities

Startfinder can inform you about the opportunities available

Startfinder is a programme run by the German government. Its services help people to find new opportunities in their countries of origin.

Startfinder provides information for the following countries

These countries have advice centres dealing with questions regarding jobs, migration and reintegration. The centres provide information on various topics. This includes, for example, how to find a job after returning back home or how to start your own business. The advisory teams also provide information on medical and psychosocial assistance, care and education for children and on finding somewhere to live.

Their advice is free of charge and is non-binding

The advice given by our centres is available to everyone. Depending on your needs, our advisors will suggest a training course or will help you with applications. There may be various requirements, for example a minimum age or a certain school-leaving qualification.

You will find these on this website
