PATRONSHIP PROGRAM
We build the future together
We offer companies the Patronship program for experienced (3–10 years) software engineers who have the dream to migrate from non-EU countries to Germany and other European countries and usually with a large currency difference – although they earn well locally. The goal is a win–win for the talent and the company.
How does the patronship program work?:
- The software engineers come from countries with large currency differences. As an employer you pay local salary in the country of origin + a program fee to Talents2Germany.
- For €1,200 to €2,500 p.m. you will receive a full-time, remote employee. At the same time, the candidates go through the preparation program: they learn German, receive technical and integration training, visas, relocation: 9-month journey.
- At the end of the 9 months, you as the employer can decide to take on the software engineer physically in Germany or write a reference that will help the candidate to develop further on the international stage.
Advantages for the employer.
- Experienced software engineers with at least 3 years of professional experience from countries with large currency differences.
- For a trainee salary, you can train and develop a talent for your team in Germany (approx. €1,200 to €2,500 per month)
- You can be sure that the engineer will fit into the team
- Training to international standards and adaptation to your in-house technologies and working methods
- You receive talents that you typically do not reach
- You have lower training & onboarding costs because the onboarding has already taken place in the country of origin
- This gives both sides greater certainty that the candidate will pass the probationary period, as both sides already know each other well
