Good job opportunities in bottleneck professions
There is a shortage of skilled workers in many professions in Saxony. These so-called bottleneck professions offer particularly good opportunities to find work quickly and, in some cases, to obtain a visa. Nursing, automotive engineering and electrical engineering in the construction industry are particularly in demand.
Other bottleneck areas are, for example: Hotel and catering, food production, sanitary, heating and air conditioning technology, food sales, civil engineering, medical and rehabilitation technology, plastics and metal processing and energy technology. A complete list of bottleneck occupations can be found at the Federal Employment Agency.
