00:00These are the select few. 400 of them applied, all hoping to work in Germany's hospitality industry.
00:08But only 34 of them had the required skills and expertise in speaking German.
00:14Ruth Poirimo is one of them. For her, the chance of working in Europe represents a rare and prestigious opportunity.
00:21I'm hoping for good payments and fair payments. I'm also hoping for good working conditions and environments.
00:35I'm also hoping to make more connections here in Germany and to make a new family,
00:45since this is also a new life that people have chosen to start away from home.
00:5226-year-old Alfred Mboru hopes to become a professional chef in Germany in the near future.
00:58He has taught himself German, but that has not been without its challenges.
01:02Many sleepless nights studying the language and also preparing for this interview.
01:10It has not been easy. It has not been easy.
01:15This opportunity, this is a lifetime opportunity.
01:19So the stress and the pressure from everywhere, it's a lot.
01:27Germany's International Agency for Development, GIZ, partnered with Bavarian Hotels for this recruitment drive.
01:35We support in Kenya as a supply side, so we have, let's say, a good match between what is required in Germany,
01:43or what it takes to be successful in Germany, and what we can prepare here.
01:50Katherine Karanja represents the German hospitality industry and has over 15 years' experience.
01:56Language is the first thing, because they will be doing a dual system.
02:00They will be going to school and they will be working in the hotel, so language is number one.
02:04And then the second thing is passion for hospitality and also motivation.
02:09So you have to bring this passion for hospitality and just this willingness and openness to learn new things
02:16and to start a new life in Germany.
02:18For Ruth and Alfred, working in Europe's top economy would be a dream come true.
02:23Well like this, sir, they havearon.
02:27What do they have needed there?
02:29You're all being a trainee of talent, of course.
02:31Onlyabel.
02:32You don't have to be a person in a cycle of good delivery.
02:33What if you use a clone?
02:36That is a moving знает?
02:37escrhnotti.
02:38You feel critical.
02:39You don't have to work with them.
02:41You're a musician, like, warmed.
02:44Anyone really thirsty?!
02:45What do you think kind of people who'd like?
