If you dedide to have your professional qualification from Indonesia recognized, you will initially work as an assistant before completing further training, which will allow you to work as a nurse in Germany.

How do I prepare for working life in Germany?
To prepare, we will support you by providing cultural and linguistic training in Indonesia. Thereby you will get to know most of the important facts and acquire the necessary language skills before arriving in Germany.

Our integration management officer speaks Indonesian and will be able to help you with official administrative matters and when filling out applications, for example. Your manager and the on-site team will arrange a detailed onboarding for you. This will help you to become part of the team. We will also be happy to help you build relationships within the Indonesian community.

Where can I stay?

For apprentices and those spending a year as a volunteer, this accommodation is guaranteed for the duration of the voluntary year and apprenticeship. If volunteering, the rent will also be covered by the St. Elisabeth-Stiftung for the year spent as a volunteer.

For nurses with recognition pending, accommodation will be arranged for the probationary period (6 months in total). The nurse with recognition pending will cover the accommodation costs.
