Companies in Swabia are experiencing increasing difficulties in filling their remaining training vacancies. The influx of refugees to Germany may be an opportunity for companies to secure their skilled worker requirements. In December 2014, the Swabian Chamber of Commerce and Industry launched a project called “Young refugees in training”. The aim is to place young refugees in internships and training and to provide them with close support. The article presents the initial experiences to emerge from the project.
