Project goals
More specialists for sustainable companies in the Heidekreis
Idea and requirement for the “WelcomeCenter Heidekreis” result from the difficult skilled labour situation in the Heidekreis. This is where the project addresses the problem of a shortage of
skilled workers throughout Germany. Not only in the so-called shortage occupations such as gastronomy, car, crafts or logistics are the skilled workers lacking, other industries also complain
about the shortage.
Against this background, the economic development agency of the
Heidekreis district, together with the Allianz für Fachkräfte
Nordostniedersachsen and the European Social Fund
is supporting the “WelcomeCenter Heidekreis – Arriving and Staying” project. The Volkshochschule
Heidekreis GmbH carries out the project in close cooperation with the sponsors.

For trainees and new employees from other countries
Corporate network
Exchange of experience and information on the demand and supply of skilled workers
The project aims to improve the skilled labour situation in the Heidekreis, in particular to provide structural support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), including the creation of a successful welcome culture. People from other countries are placed and actively supported by the project staff. During the project period, the new workers and trainees will be accompanied individually with the aim of arriving and staying.
The following objectives will be pursued:
- Establishment of a central contact point for trainees and new employees from other countries as well as companies in the district Heidekreis
- Establishment of a network with companies that train/employ people from other countries, with regular meetings.
- Supervision of trainees and new employees within the framework of external training managements / Feel Good Managements
- Execution of a kick-off and a transfer event at the end of the project period.
The actual recruitment of skilled workers and trainees from other countries does not take place within the framework of the project. The linguistic and intercultural preparation of the
participants is also organised and carried out by agents in the home countries outside the funding project. Nevertheless, if you are interested or an entrepreneur of a small or medium-sized
company, please contact the WelcomeCenter Heidekreis service point. We will also be happy to support you in these questions in order to
develop constructive solutions.
