KOFA: employing international skilled workers

The Competence Centre for Securing Skilled Workers, or KOFA for short, is a project commissioned by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection that provides advice and support to decision-makers in companies in the form of information and tips.

Logically, KOFA encourages the recruitment of personnel from so-called third countries. ‘Looking abroad expands your potential pool of applicants and increases your chances of finding a suitable candidate.’

And further quoted: ‘Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in particular are facing ever greater difficulties in filling vacancies. This is especially problematic when your order books are full. Skilled workers from abroad help to expand the pool of potential applicants.
Even though recruiting foreign employees often involves a great deal of effort, you will benefit in a variety of ways.
You will be able to fill positions that would otherwise remain vacant.

  • Working in international teams opens up new perspectives and ways of thinking.
  • International skilled workers will help you to develop and shape international markets.
  • They are open-minded and improve your company’s image.”
