Uncover the path to securing employment in Germany: a guide for job searchers
The German government is offering programs that place qualified international workers with German employers, particularly in the healthcare and nursing sectors. These initiatives aim to recruit professionals from various countries, including Mexico, Bosnia-Herzegovina, the Philippines, Tunisia, Indonesia, Kerala (India), Jordan, and Vietnam.
Two significant programs for international workers are the BA's Triple Win program and the Specialized! program.
For the Triple Win program, healthcare professionals (nurses and caregivers) from selected countries, such as the Philippines, Tunisia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina, can apply. Eligibility criteria may extend to Mexico, Indonesia, and Vietnam in some cases, but the program primarily focuses on countries with formal agreements. Applicants must meet German standards for nursing education and have at least 2 years of practical experience. Language proficiency in German (typically B1 or B2 level) is required or supported through program-sponsored language courses.
The Specialized! program focuses on qualified professionals aiming to specialize further or integrate into the German healthcare system. It may involve advanced training after arrival in Germany. Applicants need to have recognized nursing qualifications or be in the process of getting their foreign diplomas recognized in Germany. Language proficiency and the completion of orientation courses on the German healthcare system are often part of this program.
The general application process for healthcare professionals from these countries involves document preparation, qualification recognition, German language proficiency, job application, visa and work permit, arrival and integration.
To apply, you should:
- Confirm eligibility and participation of your country in the "Triple Win" or "Specialized!" programs.
- Register with authorized recruitment partners or agencies in your home country.
- Prepare and translate your qualification documents.
- Pass German language proficiency tests (typically B2).
- Complete the recognition process with German authorities.
- Secure a job contract with a German healthcare provider.
- Apply for a visa or work permit.

For precise application details and contacts, you should check the official websites of the German Federal Employment Agency and the bilateral program portals, or consult specialized recruitment agencies operating in your country that handle the "Triple Win" or similar schemes.
The International Placement Service of the Federal Employment Agency of Germany (BA) is a significant program for recruiting qualified workers and interns from around the world. The BA is currently recruiting healthcare and nursing professionals for hospitals throughout Germany, providing support for training and working as qualified workers in Germany.
The Specialized! program also offers the option for doctors to complete specialized training. This program assists Colombian and Mexican doctors through the recognition process in Germany until they are licensed to practice, and it is regularly updated online.
For those interested in the nursing profession, current applications for the nursing professional/nurse program can be found on the BA's website. The BA's Triple Win program is for trained nursing professionals. Recruitment for the Specialized! program is being done in collaboration with the Mexican National Labor Center.
The Specialized! program focuses on helping doctors to be licensed to practice in Germany, while the Triple Win program is for healthcare and nursing professionals from Mexico. The Specialized! program may also involve advanced training after arrival in Germany.
