Skilled labor shortage in industry & crafts

Demographic change poses significant challenges to the European labour market in the trade and industrial sectors. Across many European countries, the working‑age population is aging and shrinking relative to the number of retirees, making it increasingly difficult to fill jobs without qualified immigration. This trend, driven by low birth rates and rising life expectancy, contributes to a growing shortage of skilled workers, in particular in roles such as technicians, engineers, and other technical professions.

At the same time, demand for qualified professionals in industry and crafts continues to rise, and domestic labour alone is not enough to meet this need.

LANGUAGE

Language as the key to successful integration

Language is a central resource for the integration of highly qualified professionals. It not only facilitates everyday communication but also makes professional qualifications visible, enables the recognition of educational degrees, and eases orientation in the new professional environment. Language skills promote motivation, self-confidence, and long-term success in Europe.

Many professionals already begin targeted language courses in their home country, complemented by further measures in Europe to ensure the continuous development of language and professional skills.
