International laborers in Offenbach will be eligible for a streamlined process, known as a 'fast lane' for their employment approval.

In a bid to address the skills shortage in key sectors like IT, engineering, healthcare, and crafts, Offenbach County has introduced an innovative measure known as the "Fast Lane Skilled Workers." This program is designed to attract international talents and position Offenbach County as a pioneer in the integration and promotion of foreign skilled workers.

According to the Residence Act, a "skilled worker" is defined as a person with domestic or equivalent foreign vocational training, or a recognized academic degree. The county's Skills Department, led by Shafique Kamal, is spearheading this initiative.

Offenbach County is creating an attractive environment for these international talents with an accelerated procedure. The "Fast Lane Skilled Workers" measure aims to combat the skills shortage and strengthen Offenbach County's location.

The program boasts a team of five case officers, each specializing in a different field. Dr. Anna Müller handles IT and Engineering, Michael Schmidt is in charge of Healthcare and Nursing, Sabine Becker manages Technical Trades and Manufacturing, Thomas Weber looks after Logistics and Transportation, and Julia Fischer oversees Hospitality and Services.

To keep residents updated with local news, including developments like the "Fast Lane Skilled Workers" program, Offenbach County offers a free newsletter. Subscribing to this newsletter does not involve spam, as stated in the privacy policy.

By implementing the "Fast Lane Skilled Workers" measure, Offenbach County is not only combating the skills shortage but also offering another important advantage for businesses and residents alike.
