Ausbildung in Germany
Hello everyone,
I hope you're doing well.
I'm Brazilian, 36 years old, and I graduated in Chemical Engineering 10 years ago, although I have no professional experience in that field. I also have epilepsy, which has been well controlled with medication for more than five years. I want to change careers.
I'm currently trying to decide between the following professions:
Mechatroniker
Anlagenmechaniker SHK
Elektroniker für Betriebstechnik
Elektroniker für Energie- und Gebäudetechnik
Elektroniker für Geräte und Systeme
Fachinformatiker für Systemintegration
Do my age, nationality, or medical condition represent any significant obstacles to entering one of these professions?
Is a B2 level of German generally sufficient to start an Ausbildung in these fields?
Do all of these professions currently have strong demand and a genuine shortage of skilled workers in the German labor market?
Thank you all for your time and advice!
