    Come to Germany to work and find love

    Can't see a catch
    Germany has launched a £120 million drive to entice young workers from Britain to come to the country and work as apprentices by offering generous all-expenses-paid schemes.
    With the aim of plugging the skills gaps in Germany’s prosperous economy, Berlin will encourage hundreds of Britons aged 18 to 35 to take up the three-year apprenticeships.

    Prospective candidates must be educated to ‘A’ level standard and will be offered the chance to come and work and study.

    The package includes wages of almost £700 a month after tax, as well as 170 hours of language lessons thrown in for free, the Daily Mail reported.

    The apprentices will have their moving costs paid for them, plus two expenses-paid visits home each year and training at one of Germany’s highly-esteemed vocational colleges.
    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

        There are big skills gaps in NL too, especially in the high tech industry around Eindhoven, but also in the port of Rotterdam where they need metalworkers and semi-skilled logistics people. They've tried training the local unemployed, but that isn't providing enough skilled people, so they're looking further afield. Hint; they aren't looking for Media Studies 'graduates'.

              I think they would settle for an apology.
              Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                  We could just book it on the 'reparations' account.
