Glossary

What is the difference between an integration course and a language course? What does intercultural competence mean? And what does the Professional Qualifications Assessment Act say? In the Infothek and on the topic pages, you will find a wide range of terms related to migration and the labor market. With the help of the glossary, we offer you guidance on understanding individual terms: In addition to brief explanations, you’ll find links to original sources from other information services (such as the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF)). The glossary does not claim to provide a comprehensive overview of all technical terms in the field of migration and the labor market. Rather, its added value lies in providing an in-depth explanation of terms used in the Infothek and on the topic pages.
