Government-funded educational programmes
With a shortage of nearly 2 million skilled workers, Germany is funding courses to upskill workers through educational vouchers, known as the Bildungsgutschein. To be eligible for this voucher, you must be living in Germany, unemployed or soon to be unemployed and registered with the Jobcenter or Agentur für Arbeit or in the process of registering.
As an international living in Germany, you can take advantage of these programmes as well! Here at Match Talent we guide you through the process of finding a quality training programme that matches your career goals and we support you with your Bildungsgutschein application.

Key skills needed to be a financial account
To be successful as a financial accountant, you need strong data analysis skills along with sound accounting practice knowledge. Furthermore, critical thinking skills are valuable in addition to preparing financial statements and strong technological skills. While the expertise to succeed in this role can be learned through a course, an underlying interest in dealing with numbers, legal texts and business processes is highly beneficial. There are various courses you can take in the fields of finance and accounting, from payroll to accounts receivable and payable. However, advanced German knowledge is not always a prerequisite, as during a course that includes German lessons, you will build your industry specific vocabulary and intercultural skills to excel in this role.
