About IST Hamburg GmbH

IST Hamburg GmbH is a Hamburg-based service company operating in the field of child and youth welfare. With a multicultural and multilingual team, we support young people — in particular unaccompanied minor foreigners — in residential, counselling and care facilities across Hamburg.

Our staff cover a wide range of languages (including French, Arabic, Dari/Pashto, Russian/Ukrainian) and hold pedagogical qualifications with extensive experience working with culturally diverse target groups.

Skilled Worker Integration: Care & Support – Children & Young People

IST Hamburg GmbH actively develops the potential of qualified professionals from French-speaking Africa — particularly Cameroon — for the German labour market in the fields of care, support and social-pedagogical work with children and young people.

- Placement and integration of skilled and auxiliary workers in inpatient and outpatient child and youth welfare facilities in Hamburg

- Support for the recognition of foreign professional qualifications (educator, social pedagogue, care professional, etc.) under the German Qualifications Framework

- Guidance through qualification programmes, including the Pedagogical Specialist according to the Hamburg Positive List

- Mentoring and culturally sensitive onboarding for Cameroonian professionals entering the German labour market

- Preparation for language requirements (German C1) and legal frameworks (criminal record check, data protection, child safeguarding)

- Building long-term cooperation structures between Cameroonian training institutions and Hamburg youth welfare providers

With IST Hamburg GmbH as a partner, Cameroonian professionals benefit from a structured, accompanied and legally sound entry into the German care market.

Networking: Mental Health & Community Social Work – Children & Young People with Special Needs

IST Hamburg GmbH actively seeks collaboration with Cameroonian educational and social institutions working in the field of mental health and community social work with children and young people with special support needs — including autism spectrum disorders, intellectual and physical disabilities, as well as visual impairments and blindness.

- Exchange of expertise, methods and best practices in inclusive care for children and young people with disabilities

- Joint training formats and capacity-building measures for professionals in Cameroon and Germany

- Development of cooperation projects in early intervention, diagnosis and therapeutic support (autism, cognitive and physical disabilities, visual and hearing impairments)

- Building transnational networks between special education institutions, support centres and NGOs in Cameroon and Hamburg

- Support for the development of curricula and care standards for children and young people with special needs, adapted to Cameroonian contexts

- Exchange on mental health services, psychosocial support and community-based intervention for vulnerable young people

We warmly invite Cameroonian institutions to join us in building sustainable bridges between Cameroon and Germany — for the benefit of children and young people in both countries.
