Welcome to MATCH TALENT. The professional support centre for international talents in Germany.
We match talents with professional development opportunities.
Your start into a new career
Match Talent supports international talents in Germany to find the best 100% funded educational programmes. Our free 1:1 counselling helps identify the best course for you that will start your journey to the skills and jobs of the future.
Government-funded educational programmes
One option to finance your educational programme is through 100% government-funded educational voucher (Bildungsgutschein). How does it work? We guide international talents in finding the best certified and high-quality courses sponsored by the German government. Anyone who is registered with the Jobcenter/Agentur für Arbeit or in the process and unemployed (or soon to be) in Germany is potentially eligible.
Match Talent is an initiative by Lingoda in collaboration with Kiron.
We are experts in the qualification and integration of international talents and we will help you to find the best educational programme for you.

Your talent is our focus
Talent for us does not just mean what you are good at. It also means your passion, purpose and what you really want to do that also pays the bills.
Talent is universal, but opportunities are not. The world needs ideas and innovation to make progress against the many challenges it faces. Creative and talented people who can contribute to this are everywhere, but the opportunity to develop is limited to just a small number of people. As a consequence of this, we all are missing out on the creativity and innovations that would enrich our world and help us move forward.
I joined the Speak & Code Academy as a newcomer to Germany, unsure of how I was going to enter the job market. This program not only taught me the technical skills in web development, but also provided me with the tools to successfully integrate into German society.
Match Talent supports from start to finish with career counselling [to providing] a "buddy" who supports everything. I followed the guidance about the appointment process that the counsellor shared. It really helped me and I can say, I am very satisfied with the overall process
I felt well prepared by the Match Talent agent that was dealing with my case and had all the documents with me. The guide that I received was really good and clear. The agent from Match Talent was always really helpful and responsive, every time I had doubts she helped me through the process and answered all my questions and doubts.
