We have been hiring at a record level for years. Fortunately we have maintained this course even during the Corona crisis. And the rail job engine continues to run at full speed We have now increased our original target of 21000 new hires in 2022 by 15 percent by the end of the year we want to have 24000 new colleagues on board.However DB also relies on advice and information about the German labor market. The company cooperates successfully with the Federal Employment Agency BA. Immediately after the outbreak of war in Ukraine DB launched a special job program. It includes advice on residence applications on the German labor market and jobs at DB as well as orientation and language courses. To date more than 1700 consultations have been held via a telephone hotline and three advice centers. Around 30 Ukrainians have received a job offer. They work as interpreters engineers and recruiters among other things. The hiring process for other refugees is currently underway.Daniel Terzenbach Board Member for the Regions of the BA With job advice directly on site at DB we reach the refugees in a place that they are already familiar with from their arrival in our country. It is important to us to develop a perspective with the people who seek job advice and to support them on their way into the job market. I am pleased about this pragmatic approach which complements our range of advice beyond the employment agencies and job centers. My big thanks go to the employees of the DB and the BA who support the refugees.Every consultation every promise of employment is a quick and unbureaucratic help with a new career said Seiler. Its about practical help for people who come from a war zone not far from us. We are deeply affected by the fate of the Ukrainian refugees. And thats why we at Deutsche Bahn together with our partners offer comprehensive support here.In the job advice center at Frankfurt Central Station alone the experts from DB and its cooperation partner the Federal Employment Agency BA have so far been able to help over 300 Ukrainians. The DB Human Resources Director visited the Frankfurt site today. There he got into conversation with refugees who after taking part in a DB qualification course are now attending a language course and are being further qualified for a job at DB.
