Do you want to attract qualified professionals or make better use of existing potential within your company? The recognition of foreign professional qualifications through so‑called adaptation qualification programs is a highly effective lever to achieve this.
Two Paths, One Goal: Skilled Professionals for Your Company
In principle, there are two ways in which professionals with foreign qualifications can be integrated into the German labor market:
1. Recruiting Skilled Workers from Abroad
You specifically recruit qualified employees from abroad. This enables a seamless process—from selection and entry to the recognition of professional qualifications.
C1TT supports companies with tailored adaptation qualification programs, enabling your new employees to be integrated into daily operations as skilled professionals in Germany as quickly as possible.
2. Recognition of Existing Qualifications of People in Germany
Many individuals with foreign professional qualifications have already been living in Germany for some time—without having their qualifications recognized or working in their trained profession. Through adaptation qualification programs, existing gaps can be closed and recognition achieved. This offers your company an additional opportunity to recruit skilled workers. In this case as well, we support with individually tailored training measures.
C1TT Takes on the Task of Post‑Qualification for Professional Recognition
We have extensive expertise in the field of electrical professions and have already successfully implemented adaptation qualification programs in two electrical training occupations.
In Germany, there are more than 20 different electrical professions. Our experience shows that the recognition process often does not fail due to a lack of interest, but rather due to the absence of a comprehensive project framework that supports the application process and provides a concrete qualification offering.
By defining a target occupation, interested individuals can make a deliberate choice for recognition and be guided through the application process within the framework of the project.
For professionals with foreign qualifications, the main challenge is usually not technical ability, but national specifics.
In Germany, knowledge of applicable standards, safety regulations, and legal requirements is particularly crucial. Only when these requirements are met can professional work be carried out in a legally compliant manner.
This is exactly where adaptation qualification programs come in.
The goal is not to repeat an entire training program, but to specifically address the content required according to the deficit notice. Due to the overlap in laws and standards within electrical professions, this occupational group offers significant potential. Company-specific gaps resulting from differing levels of practical experience can then be individually addressed through internships directly within the company.
With our practical, hands-on approach, we support the targeted qualification of skilled professionals and their sustainable integration into the German labor market.
We offer adaptation qualification programs in the following two professions. If you are interested in training in another occupation, please feel free to contact us!
Electronics Technician for Building and Infrastructure Systems
This adaptation qualification enables participants to independently and responsibly carry out comparable, recurring electrical tasks. It imparts, among other things, fundamental measurement and analysis techniques as well as knowledge of building services systems.
Industrial Electrician
This adaptation training enables participants, upon completion, to independently and responsibly carry out similar, repetitive electrical engineering tasks. These include, among others, measuring electrical systems as well as working with electronic components and installations.
Recognition of Foreign Vocational Qualifications – Creating Perspectives Together
Since January 2024, C1TT has been actively engaged in the recognition of foreign vocational qualifications and the sustainable integration of refugees into the labor market. At the locations Hannover, Northeim, Korbach, Berlin, and Hamburg, information events and individual advisory sessions have been conducted to support participants on their path toward qualified employment.
The shared goal of all involved stakeholders is at the core of these activities: improving labor market integration through close cooperation, practice‑oriented qualification programs, and tailored support. Since the start of the project, several hundred people have taken part in the events.
In addition to information formats, C1TT specifically implements qualification programs aimed at achieving a recognized vocational qualification. This opens up long‑term employment prospects for participants—particularly with partner companies that are urgently seeking skilled professionals.
In this way, sustainable solutions are created that benefit both people with refugee or migration backgrounds and companies alike.
