In particular, the policy of caring for and supporting the elderly is a difficult problem for the German government.
In an effort to find a young, trained workforce in the shortage of occupations, especially nursing and elderly care, in 2013 the German government signed and passed the first official law allowing foreigners to study and work in Germany in up to 18 different occupations, of which the number 1 urgent need is the health care sector including Nursing (Krankenschwester), Nursing (Pfleger-/in) and Physiotherapy Technician (Physiotherapeut).

Have the opportunity to live, study and experience a completely new culture, cuisine, tourism and in the near future settle down and build a long-term life in Germany, the place known as the heart of Europe?
