Germany’s New Labor Deal for Kenyan Workers: What You Need to Know
Amidst Kenyans facing increasing difficulties in finding work opportunities and better pay, Germany strikes migration agreements with Kenya.
The agreements will further simplify migration process for Kenyans into Germany. This is a great opportunity for Kenyans to find better employment with a higher pay scale in Europe's biggest economy, as said by BBC.
250,000 jobs are now open to Kenyans in Germany. In a pilot project, 5 Kenyan bus drivers were already welcomed to Germany. Authorities in Germany also plan on extending temporary residence visas to those immigrants who have secured job offer in Germany.
On the expiry of long term Visa, Kenyans can obtain a temporary residence visa for up to 2 years. They also have an opportunity to study or undertake vocational training with a long term visa in Germany.
The IT specialists from Kenya without formal qualifications will also be permitted to enter and work in Germany according to BBC. The German government will allow immigrates who have finished training and earned a degree from recognized universities. Apart from IT professionals, healthcare, hospitality, and teaching professionals are also expected to grab this opportunity.
Laws and regulations are in action to prevent any forms of labor exploitation, human trafficking, and forced labor. Mechanisms are in place to protect the rights and welfare of the migrant workers from Kenya ensuring a safe migration.
