Did you say 65.000 skilled workers ?
Yes, Germany is looking for 65.000 skilled workers and cannot find them in the homeland. So it is calling for volunteers from abroad.
Why is that ?
Well there are several reasons :
- Germany is the first exporting country in the world. And it doesn’t export much raw material but manufactured goods and high value services.
- Germany has developed a protection policy for its workers and the recent economic crisis hardly affected its employment rate contrary to most European countries which are still facing high unemployment figures.
- The German population is growing older and many of the so called “baby boomers” are going to retire very soon. The current birthrate is not sufficient to replace people who are retiring, so the country is compelled to called for foreign skilled workers in order to sustain its huge and competitive industry…
What kind of workers are they searching for ?

Fun and informative : these are the two words that come most frequently in the participants feedback of the seminar.
During the seminar itself, some participants called the Safety Net Project an Eye-Opener ! We are very honored to be perceived as such !
But what is it about ?
Event before we created the Lingua Franca Foundation, we were worried about the fate of some Asian women we saw in dire strait around us, in the Netherland. Some of them divorced in the most desperate – and more often then not – violent conditions. We decided to react and to create a specific project to help these women : the Safety Net Project (more details about this project in these pages).
This project in multidimensional, we aim to contribute to :

it’s time for us to reveal
The Safety Net Project is a program associated between Lingua Lingua Franca Foundation and Hotel Abadi Sdn Bhd (Hotel Abadi Melaka) to promote safe and harmonious ‘win-win’ international exchanges as well as diversity between nations. This project aims to deal with domestic violence against women from abroad and to help them to integrate in the welcoming country or to go back safely to their country of origin and to inform local authority, potential partners and contributors of the current situation and what plans for improvement. It is also a discussion platform for future collaboration from both sides to promote and maintain the durability of the project.

Each Individual is Unique
Stichting Lingua Franca Foundation realise the importance of each client’s individuality and uniqueness. We acknowledge the existence of the client’s own specific needs and demands. We also acknowledge that each client needs to take total control on the development of his/her need(s) through out the entire course and everybody has his/her own pace to tackle the need(s) according to the level of understanding and acceptance.
Walking through the sand
We want the client to know that we actually understand their needs and the manner of wanting their needs to be fulfilled. Face-to-face interaction is one of the basic methods we use to penetrate the client’s true wish. Some people are afraid of spilling out what is truly in their hearts; thinking that others might make a mockery out of them. Some even think their needs and demands are too impossible to achieve. We are here to break that barrier of endless fear. We are here to assure them dreams can be realities if you work hard to achieve it. Dreams are not impossible. It is solely up to YOU to make the impossible possible.
Tailored Made Programme
The services offered by the Stichting Lingua Franca Foundation are specifically designed around YOUR NEEDS. Yes, YOUR NEEDS. We will propose to you a programme/service/workshop/course specially for YOU. A tailored made programme to solely suit YOUR EXACT NEEDS. Considering all factors and wishes from YOU the client, the Foundation will evaluate seriously all levels of the individual’s potential and achievement. From there, we will create a course that you are comfortable with to enable you to finally achieve your goals.

If you sit down at the terrace of a “café branché” in Paris, you will hear people talk a lot about their “carte bleue”, their “blue card”. This magic word is simply the name French people gave to their Visa Card according to the colour it bears there…
Carte bleue
But Europe is trying to give a little bit more of magic to the expression Blue Card. The European Blue Card was adopted by the European Council on the 25th May 2009. It aims to attract and retain high skilled workers from outside the European Union.
But there is still a long road to go before the first immigrants get this card since the Member States have two years to implement this legislation into their national law, till 19th of June 2011.
Let’s have a look on this Blue Card and the changes it will bring to the European labour markets.
