The CraftTURN project

We support international dropouts on their path to professional training. That way, we can offer them a new perspective in Germany while at the same time counteracting the shortage of skilled workers in small and medium-sized enterprises in the region.

Our project is funded by the Federal Ministry for Education, Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth (BMBFSFJ) and the Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training as the project executing organisation as part of the "JOBvision" initiative.
