Labor Market: State seeks workers and specialists in Central Asia

The state government of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern is actively pursuing international cooperation to address its labor and skilled worker shortages. Recognizing this as a central challenge for the region's economic development, the government is initiating contact with Central Asian countries.

To this end, State Secretary for Economic Affairs Jochen Schulte is embarking on a trip to Uzbekistan and Kyrgyzstan. During his visit, Schulte plans to engage with government officials, educational institutions, and business representatives. The discussions will focus on the prerequisites for successful labor migration, including language proficiency, qualifications, and the collaboration with training providers.

“

The securing of labor and skilled workers is one of the central challenges for the economic development of our country. Besides activating our own potential, we also need international cooperation for this.

Schulte will be accompanied by representatives from the Chamber of Industry and Commerce (IHK) Neubrandenburg, the Regional Directorate North of the Federal Employment Agency, the Association of Employers' Organizations for Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, and local business leaders. This delegation underscores the comprehensive approach being taken, involving various stakeholders to ensure that any potential migration is not a short-term fix but part of a sustainable strategy for integration and economic growth.

It's not about short-term solutions, but about reliable structures, good preparation, and sustainable integration.
