The working aid of the immigration office of the IQ network provides important information and explanations in this regard. It can also be a valuable aid for employers.

Tasks and objectives
IHK Ulm (chamber of commerce and industry Ulm) is active in various fields to reduce the lack of specialists. One building block in the structure of securing specialists is the Welcome Center Ulm/Oberschwaben for international specialists that was formed on 1 April 2014 and which closely cooperates with the
Fachkräftebündnis Ulm/Oberschwaben and is represented there in the “International Specialists” work group.
