"Do I want to go back to my home country or do I  work in Germany for a few years to get work experience? Or will I realize a project idea? What do I need for this and who supports me? How can I avoid mistakes? ”

Many international students ask  these questions at the end of their studies in Germany. As returning specialists who have acquired their professional qualification in Germany, they play an important role in their countries of origin. Through their successful professional integration, they make a lasting contribution to the economic, technological and social development of their countries. They have up-to-date specialist knowledge, international contacts, intercultural competence and are multilingual.

For a successful return, there must be a good preparation.

This weekend we will cover
- the development-oriented program "Returning Experts" from CIM
- Project planning and management in different cultures
- a best practice example of an African entrepreneur
We invite international students who are planning to return and start work in their home country.

The development-oriented program” Returning Experts” from CIM specifically supports the professional integration of university graduates interested in return and experienced professionals from developing, emerging and transition countries who have qualified professionally in Germany. The focus is on the placement of specialist staff in areas that are important for development policy. In addition to placement and counseling services, the program also offers return funding to specialists.

In the workshop part on international project management and (social) entrepreneurship you will get short introductions and put these into practice. You will identify a challenge that you are concerned about, discover your target group, develop your goals and the needed strategy, including finance and marketing aspects.
