MiGreat's first ever Kenya-only Webinar: 50+ selected participants
Our first Kenya webinar — and it did not disappoint.
When we opened registration for our first free webinar on building a career in Germany for Kenyans, we filled the room — over 50 students and recent graduates showed up, and the questions didn't stop for the entire session.
There's real, serious appetite among young Kenyans to build a future in Germany — and nowhere near enough straight answers about how to actually pull it off.
So we gave them those answers.
📅 Thursday, 17 September 🕗 9pm Nairobi · 8pm Berlin 📍 Live on Google Meet
What our 50+ attendees walked away with
Our webinars are built around the questions that actually keep people up at night:
- The routes in — study, apprenticeship, or work, and what happens to the qualifications you already have once you land
- Where the demand is — the degrees, skills, and fields German employers are hiring for from abroad, right now
- Tuition-free public university — how the system works and how to actually get through the door as an international applicant
- The stuff nobody warns you about — embassy backlogs, financing the blocked account (and the alternatives most people never hear of)
That last one usually decides who makes it and who doesn't. Getting to Germany isn't hard because the path is a mystery — it's hard because of a string of small, avoidable traps nobody flags in advance.

Unsure if Germany's a fit for you? Take our free profile check!
It's true, Germany is looking to bring in 400,000 skilled international workers every year. But not every profile is right. Three factors work in your favour:
- Age: Germany has an aging population and therefore has a preference for younger talent. Ideally, candidates are 35 or below. Once you are 45 years+, you'll need to show an above-average salary to qualify.
- Qualification: Over 160 professions are in such high demand that they have been identified as official 'shortage sector' professions and candidates with qualifications in these get extra points in certain visa categories like the opportunity card.
- Knowledge of German: While it's not a legal requirement, Germany has a preference for candidates who are willing to invest in learning the German language before they arrive. So extra points for that.
