Bridging Program

BRIDGING PROGRAM

An online training and recruitment process for international engineers & technicians looking to support Germany’s renewable energy transition.

power the energy transition

By upskilling participants in technical German and guiding them towards jobs in solar, wind, hydrogen and other areas of renewables, we offer a holistic service designed to make green technicians internationally mobile. Technical word sets are incorporated into live grammar and vocabulary exercises from A2 levels and up, enabling quick mastery of the German equivalent for tools, processes and safety regulations. Acceptance into our Bridging Program is based on the transferability of skills into the green energy market, which is why we accept applicants from the fields of engineering, IT and the environmental sciences. A shortened Bridging Program is also possible for those with A1.1. Contact us for details.

NOT INCLUDED

J. Kitching (AU)

Green Technician | Electrician

“As an international worker I never would have expected to be considered for a role as exciting and rewarding as an offshore technician in renewable energy. greentech.training not only provided me this opportunity but identified the exact areas in my application profile that could be improved before approaching the energy firm in order to give me the best chance of being successful. I would encourage anyone who is considering a career in renewables to apply with them to see where greentech.training could take you."

S. Mazumdar (IN)

Green Technician | Solar

“I have been doing a Learning Block focussed on interview preparation with greentech.training and I personally have improved my professional technical German speaking skills to a great extent. The mentors are great and I am highly obliged and grateful to them."

C. Özen (TU)

Green Technician | Hydrogen

“My teacher was Nara. With Nara, in a very short time, around one and a half months, I reached from A2 to B1. The lessons were very enjoyable for me because, for example, she was rotating topics to make it more interesting: The courses were also related to my technical field, renewable energy, and this enabled me to learn a lot of terminology in German.”
