02
Which careers and occupations are creating opportunities?
Will my qualification be recognised?
Explore how demand can differ across sectors, occupations, regions and levels of qualification. A strong career decision should consider both current opportunities and longer-term professional prospects.
Recognition depends on the qualification, profession and applicable rules. Understand whether formal recognition, comparability or another form of assessment may be relevant before planning your next step.

How important is German language ability?
What skills do employers expect?

What happens after my first job?
How do I choose the right pathway for me?
A career pathway does not end with the first position. Experience, specialisation, additional qualifications and changing responsibilities can create opportunities for progression.
Consider your education, qualifications, language ability, experience, interests, eligibility and long-term goals together rather than choosing a pathway based on a single factor.
Career information can change. Always verify current requirements with the relevant authority, institution, employer or programme before making an important decision.
