“Make it in Germany” is the multilingual portal of the German federal government on the topic of skilled labor immigration for skilled workers from abroad and employers who wish to recruit from all over the world.
As a central multimedia platform, “Make it in Germany” integrates useful knowledge and reliable information on skilled labor immigration and maintains a partner network throughout Germany. By means of that, the portal contributes to alleviating the shortage of skilled workers in Germany.
The project is carried out by the German Economic Institute in collaboration with IW Medien GmbH on behalf of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy.
