Stark contrast compared to this article published by the WSJ today.
German Companies Race to Sign Up Migrant Workers
Migrants provide a rich seam of talent—but hiring them is far from easy

BERLIN—German companies are scrambling to connect almost 1 million immigrants with jobs—but the rich seam of fresh labor is throwing up manifold challenges.

The rush to recruit migrants is partly altruistic, borne of a concern for the wider society. Assimilating the new arrivals quickly could prevent them from drifting toward radicalism, and reduce strain on Germany’s public services. Yet there is also a clear benefit for German businesses blighted by an aging, overstretched workforce.

Germany’s adjusted unemployment rate dipped to 6.3% in November, its lowest level in almost 24 years. With so few people available to fill the gaps in the private sector, migrants provide an obvious opportunity.

Yet, while overall joblessness continues to fall, unemployment among working-age migrants from the Middle East and Africa hit 42.1% in September, according to Germany’s Federal Employment Agency, up 4.4% from a year earlier—highlighting the challenge authorities face.

Europe is struggling to handle its largest flow of migrants since the aftermath of World War II. Why is the crisis happening now? The WSJ’s Niki Blasina explains.
Companies ranging from family shops to BASF SE, the world’s largest chemicals firm, have opened their doors to immigrants from Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries.

At Workeer.de, a website dedicated to providing openings for migrants which was launched in the summer, more than 1000 employers offer work, traineeships and internships. Among them are a bakery seeking a sales assistant in Heidelberg, a publisher looking for a website tester in Berlin and a telecommunications company offering a bookkeeping internship in Leipzig.

But despite everyone’s best intentions, few of the newcomers speak German, and most lack proof of education or professional training. Registering to work legally in Germany can take months.

Language is the biggest impediment to employment, said 92% of the companies recently polled by economic think tank ifo Institut.

“Language is key to integration,” said Jürgen Wursthorn, spokesman for Germany’s Federal Employment Agency. Gaining proficiency to work in mid-skilled positions, such as geriatric nurse or craftsman, can take at least six months, he said.

The agency plans to offer language courses for about 100,000 migrants and other organizations also offer free classes.

Yet, despite the various complications, many companies are pressing ahead.

Tannert Dentaltechnik GmbH, a maker of dentures and fillings in Dortmund, recently hired an apprentice from Syria. Co-owner Anne Tannert-Horst said she was glad to fill the vacancy. “We had a lot of trouble finding apprentices,” Ms. Tannert-Horst said.

The 18-year-old apprentice, who has been in Germany for more than a year and had previously carried out an internship with the company, began vocational training that mixes work and schooling on September 1. Ms. Tannert-Horst said she and her staff “don’t notice large cultural differences” with the apprentice, other than that he avoids eating pork.

Bayerischer Hof, a luxury hotel in Munich, said 10 of its staff came to Germany as refugees in recent years. Among them is Dalivar-Khan Zadran, a Syrian who started his apprenticeship in September.

“ Mr. Zadran is a very committed trainee,” said human resources manager Thomas Hintermayer, “but in school, he still struggles with the German language.”

B+B Automations- und Steuerungstechnik GmbH, a producer of manufacturing machinery, recently posted an ad seeking a software developer on Workeer.de. B+B co-owner Alexander Beck said the post was open for months before he received a letter from the regional chamber of commerce in November promoting the site.

Mr. Beck quickly received five applications, mostly from Syrians, and three applicants looked promising, he said.

“I don’t mind where they come from, as long as they fit in and work well,” he said. “They’ll get proper pay, comparable to Germans.”

Software company SAP SE plans to offer 100 internships and at least 10 additional apprenticeships for refugees. Steel company ThyssenKrupp AG said it would create around 150 apprenticeships for refugees over the next two years, roughly 230 less-formal internships and further positions for specialist workers and university graduates.

Railway operator Deutsche Bahn AG is offering internships and training 15 migrants for up to 28 months as skilled electronic technicians.

Big companies that have large human-resources departments are helping train immigrants who may end up working for other companies. Chemical group BASF offers a program for 50 migrants that includes training and job-search support. Engineering conglomerate Siemens AG plans to offer internships for 100 migrants and language courses and training for an additional 64. Deutsche Telekom AG offers internships for more than 70 migrants.

Daimler AG, maker of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, plans to offer hundreds of places in a “bridge internship” aimed at integrating foreigners. The first batch of 40 migrants started internships in November at a Daimler plant in Stuttgart.

The group, hailing from Afghanistan, Eritrea, Gambia, Nigeria, Pakistan and Syria, will stay at the plant for 14 weeks. They work in axle production and logistics and receive related training for almost four hours a day, and German language lessons for the same amount of time.

Municipalities and business groups are also working to find apprenticeships for refugees.

In Munich, the chamber of commerce and an alliance of upscale hotels recently held a one-day introduction to the hospitality industry for about 250 migrant schoolchildren. The chamber of commerce says at least 10,000 vocational training positions remained vacant in Bavaria when the school year started in late summer.

In Dortmund, the Skilled Crafts Chamber in August launched vocational training for 22 migrants. They had learned German for three months and did internships before their formal traineeships started.

“We’re hearing from the businesses training refugees that they’re very highly motivated,” said project manager Kathrin Engel. “They see it as a chance to make it in Germany.”
