and paving a fair way forward
About
The essence of Global Skills Partnerships
In many countries, more people qualify for nursing professions than the local labor market can absorb. Global Skills Partnerships open up new opportunities for prospective nurses from outside Germany. Fair agreements allow international nurses to equip themselves for potential employment in Germany while undergoing training in their home country.
PartnerS
The partners in cooperation – inside Germany and around the world
Cooperation thrives on active partners. Partners who know what kind of training is required for the German health system, and partners who are open to the idea of new learning and teaching formats for personal growth and development. Find out here who is involved in the Global Skills Partnerships programme and in which countries.
