Concerning the COVID-19 pandemic:
The planning of this project is subject to future developments of the Corona crises. The labour market is quite unpredictable and so are the travel restrictions and quarantine regulations. Therefore, recruitment and information sessions may have to take place online. Individual interviews can be arranged through telephone or video telephony. Upon entering German territory, a negative Corona test or a quarantine period may be obligatory. The employer is responsible for the necessary quarantine arrangements (private accommodation, food) immediately after arrival of the candidate.
