Prof. Dr. Florian Kunze speaks on WDR 5 about the situation of foreign trainees in Germany.
The Chamber of Industry and Commerce estimates that Germany has a shortage of around 1.8 million skilled workers. Immigration is therefore necessary. For immigrants and Germans alike, dual training is an important route into the labour market. However, young immigrants drop out of training more often than German trainees. In their Integration Network project, Prof. Dr. Florian Kunze is investigating how well foreign trainees manage to integrate into the German labour market. Prof. Dr. Florian Kunze explains on WDR 5 why young foreigners seem to drop out of the trainings more often. The whole talk on WDR 5 in German can be found here.
