Fadi is one of many people in Jordan who dream of a career abroad. He used to think that vocational training in Germany was out of reach for him. This changed thanks to the support of the German-Jordanian Centre for Labour Mobility (GJC).

My name is Fadi. I am 31 years old, and I live in Jordan. I am a marketing and content creator with a diploma in management information systems. I was aiming for a career in Germany but found it difficult to get reliable information about living and working there. Instead, misinformation stood in the way of me realising my ambitions.

A reliable source of information on living and working abroad

When I heard about the opening of the German-Jordanian Centre for Labour Mobility (GJC) on the news in November 2023, I immediately signed up for counselling. At last, there was a centre that serves as source for information for all questions relating to work and live in Germany and other countries. I hoped that they could support me in achieving my goals. Even during the first consultation at the centre, I knew that I came to the right place. I received detailed information on the most in-demand professions in Germany and possible career paths.

Next steps towards Germany

Thanks to the advice I received at the centre, I felt ready to take the first steps towards achieving my goal. I was not alone in this process, as the GJC continuously supported me with advice and information about the best options for me. This led me to follow the suggestion to apply to the “Partnerships for development-oriented vocational training and labour migration (PAM)” programme. I would like to use this approach to take the opportunities offered by the Skilled Labour Immigration Act (FEG) and start a career in Germany with a vocational training programme.
