Talent and Diversity
Talent and Diversity

As a global city, Berlin radiates outwards and brings people from all over the world together. The integration of foreign skilled workers into the labor market runs smoothly on the basis of efficient procedures. The labor market is characterized by a high level of efficiency. Good job prospects, practiced inclusion and active diversity management promote dynamic corporate growth. The city scores with diversity, openness and stability. A high quality of life and inclusive education attract international talent and guests. Family friendliness is a top priority and access to daycare is guaranteed across the board. The European single market offers a harmonized labour market with unbureaucratic mobility for skilled workers

Education is organised at least bilingually (German/English) at all schools. Children whose family language is not German receive foreign language lessons in their family language at primary level in order to reduce language barriers and promote cohesion.

Qualification and talent scouting starts at primary school age. Project work and close cooperation between schools, companies and start-ups are part of everyday life at schools. Vocational training is modular and adapts to the constantly changing needs of companies and young people.

Building Bridges: Circular migration for the continuous exchange of skilled labour
Building Bridges: Circular migration for the continuous exchange of skilled labour

Berlin is in favour of ‘circular migration’ in order to meet the demand for skilled workers, reduce the brain drain and strengthen the international transfer of expertise. Networks and platforms are used to connect skilled workers in order to initiate projects. Incentives such as benefits and further training opportunities encourage skilled workers to relocate temporarily.
