Opportunities

Are you planning to work and live in Munich? Let us guide you on your journey. “Make it in Munich” is an innovative online migration project designed to support third-country nationals (from outside the EU/non-EFTA countries) in their planned and legal migration to Munich. We offer free online consultations and seminars, as well as German language and IT courses, to help you prepare for your career and integrate into Munich even before you arrive.

Prepare Yourself for a Smooth Integration

We inform, guide, and empower you with the necessary tools and knowledge to build a sustainable future in Munich. When internationals receive orientation and qualification offers before moving, their transition and integration into Munich’s society and labor market become smoother. Make it in Munich offers a unique and comprehensive approach, providing everything you need in one place!
