This AM....Focus came up and discussed this new SPD draft idea....to bring more qualified immigrant craftsmen into Germany. It would revolve around your resume/background being 'graded' with points.
Basically six points would be enough to get a visa.
So I looked over the ways you get points. For example....if you seemed to have a working 'knowledge' of German....you'd get three points. You'd get two points, if you were just under the age of 35 (over 35....zero points). You could get a single point, if you spoke English. You could get up to four points for your qualifications (assuming in your home-country....you attended some technical school or university).
What this draft is supposed to achieve (if passed)? They suggest 60,000 more people in Germany....to work.
You can go back a decade ago and this type of point system was strongly recommended, and basically went nowhere.
What they meant by 'working-knowledge' of German? I would assume passing A1/A2/B1 levels. If they included the B2 or C1 level? That might be more intense and add another 6 months of language classes.
Would the typical Ukrainian pass this qualification? Most don't speak German, but they would have the university or technical background points (4) and probably have the basic English down. A class or two in German probably would give the six points.
Will this attract interest? It's hard to say.
