Why Tunisia?

Germany and Tunisia are not starting from scratch

Tunisia is NAVIGO's first international talent and cooperation market. This decision is based not only on the available talent potential but on a combination of established relationships, structures and strong networks.

Germany and Tunisia have maintained diplomatic relations since 1956. Today the two countries are linked by diverse cooperations in business, education, vocational training and development cooperation. International workforce mobility is not a new idea either: programmes such as Triple Win and THAMM Plus show that structured pathways for labour and training mobility between the two countries already exist.

These programmes show that experience and institutional structures exist on which Germany and Tunisia can build together.

Potential meets local expertise

Tunisia has qualified and motivated talent in areas that are also NAVIGO's focus: healthcare, industry, skilled trades and digitalisation. Education and qualification structures create an important basis for international career prospects.

But qualification alone is not enough. Successful workforce mobility requires fair recruitment, linguistic and professional preparation, cultural understanding and long-term integration. It is equally important to involve employers' requirements and institutional framework conditions at an early stage.

Tunisia is a partner, not just a country of origin

Sustainable workforce mobility must take both countries' perspectives into account. Professionals seek international career opportunities, employers need qualified talent and institutions create the necessary framework. The interests and development prospects of the country of origin must also be included. For NAVIGO, fair recruitment, qualification, knowledge exchange, integration and institutional dialogue therefore belong together.
