“Back then, three years ago, I had yours Projects needed!" told me Laura, an Italian who moved to Berlin in her late twenties hoping to find work as soon as possible – and encountered cultural and language barriers. Exactly from these considerations is ours Companies emerged.
Despite her degree in media and politics and several years of professional experience in her home country, Laura had not found a job that provided her with sufficient supplies. That's why she came to Berlin.
But the search took longer than expected. First of all, there was the foreign language and culture, a new city, an unfamiliar job market and a lot of bureaucratic processes, such as with the recognition of degrees. Today she works for an environmental foundation.
Many languageCourses and applications later, she began to work there on an honorary basis and later became a permanent post. One and a half years has taken her search altogether.
Together with Christine Haida and Judith Kauper (photo from left to right), I founded a project called TWO Young Professionals Tandem. At TWO, I meet many such well-educated Europeans like Laura, who arrive in Berlin and are once without orientation.
Our Team brings them together with professionals who have been living in Berlin for several years. In twos, the tandems, they meet 1-2 once a month and discuss their professional situation.
The young professionals established in Berlin support the tandem partners who have moved here in their search for a job or internship and, if necessary, make initial contact with the Berliner Working world and their professional networks here.
In tandem, they exchange information about professional topics, attend lectures and network events and learn from their partner - whether they expand their expertise, improve their language skills or learn something completely different from each other.
The established young professionals also benefit from the tandem: they expand their personal network and train their intercultural skills Expertise and learn eg international Business-Etiquette or improve your business Spanish.
By tandem they strengthen their counseling and accompaniment skills and can reflect their own professional career. In addition, tandem couples can take part in workshops on intercultural and professional topics, regular round tables and other network events.
The first round of tandems will start in early September. We are still in the process of reviewing applications and looking to see which tandem partners match each other.
I'm currently reading application forms from, for example, Spanish, Italian, Greek or Portuguese women. Many many Industries are represented: whether media, sports, politics, non-profit or mechanical engineering - everything is there!
The good news is: the project is funded by the European Social Fund and therefore free of charge. We are currently still looking for German and European tandem partners. You can still register until the end of August apply. More information is available on our website:
