German Ambassador to Kenya Sebastian Groth on Thursday, May 4, stated that his country had opened a job market programme to which Kenyans were called upon to tap into. Groth noted that the Kenyan workforce was one of the fastest growing and with some of the smartest job seekers who were potentially fit for the Opportunity Card. The diplomat explained that Opportunity Card is a new regulated way of attracting skilled workers from non-EU countries to Germany. "We have developed a so-called Opportunity Card where you can gain credit points by certain qualifications like language skills or skills in professions that are in high demand in Germany," Groth defined. Eligibility criteria for Opportunity Card include the fact that a candidate should be under the age of 35 years and have at least 3 years of work experience.
