A recent report said the initiative aligns with the European Institute for Innovation and Technologyâs Deep Tech Talent Initiative and seeks to upskill about one million individuals in deep tech fields by 2025.
The Czech Republic has been actively inviting foreign professionals with capabilities and ambition to contribute to its economy.
According to reports, the country is actively coordinating with other European countries to recruit tech talents.
The Czech Republic has a labour market with different sectors, which provides international workers with opportunities for career advancement and personal growth.
The country also has a network of local and international firms and startups.
The recruitment portal provides a thorough guide for foreign professionals. It covers a broad range of jobs and life in the country, including detailed information on visa and immigration procedures and tips for cultural engagements.Â
The head of the CzechInvest agency, Jan Michal, stressed that the portal offers various opportunities, especially in the tech sector.
The platform also provides guidelines on navigating the visa process, facilitating the integration of foreigners into the countryâs workforce.
Reports also indicated that in 2022, the European Institute for Innovation and Technology (EIT) launched the Deep Tech Initiative to target the upskilling of one million persons in deep tech fields in three years.
The scheme was designed to close the talent gap by fostering a robust pool of deep-tech professionals throughout Europe.
The EIT has been providing courses focused on developing and expanding deep tech.
The development comes barely a week after Germany made a similar move, providing a new portal for recruiting international skilled labour.
An earlier report by TimesNow.com.ng disclosed that the government of Germany launched a portal for Nigerians to apply for an opportunity card, which gives skilled Nigerians a chance to relocate and work.Â
The opportunity card aims to attract skilled workers from non-European Union (EU) countries, including Nigeria.
It is a type of residence permit that allows individuals from third countries â nations outside the EU â to enter Germany to seek employment.Â
The recent Japa trend in Nigeria targeted tech talents mainly, providing opportunities for them to move abroad, especially to Canada and the UK.
A travel expert, Henry Uche, the CEO of Goodwinds and Travel Agency, asked Nigerians seeking to emigrate to exercise caution in taking up any jobs abroad.
He cited the soured experiences of those lured with juicy offers but later stranded due to disappointments.
TimesNow.com.ng earlier reported that the United Kingdom Home Office announced on Monday, January 1, 2024, that it had commenced the implementation of its policy barring Nigerian students and other international students from bringing dependents via its study route.
