Team Leader for Reintegration, Regular, and Regional Labor Migration

Welcome to DIMAK Albania, our German Center for Labor, Vocational Training, and Reintegration!

My role is to create conditions for returnees and the local population, providing them with better opportunities for social and economic integration. We offer personalized counseling, various training courses, and psychosocial support. Additionally, my excellent team of professionals provides information and guidance on opportunities for seasonal and long-term employment in Germany, academic education and study-related internships, as well as vocational training and education.

If you have just returned from migration, are looking for better reintegration opportunities in Albania and live in the north of the country, please visit our regional DIMAK Albania office in Shkodra. I’ll be here to welcome you to our offices and provide detailed information about reintegration and opportunities offered in Albania.

If you live far from Shkodra, you can call our phone number and I’ll assist you with your requirements.

It actually went well: my husband found work as a welder, I as a cleaner and the children attended school. They quickly learned German. Yet we missed our family, our friends and our culture in Albania. So we returned in January 2017.
