As discussions about the future of Syrian refugees continue following the fall of the Assad regime, the German craft sector emphasizes the need to retain trained Syrian professionals. Jörg Dittrich, President of the German Craft Association, advocates for the integration of these skilled workers, warning against repatriation due to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Syria. With around 975,000 Syrians residing in Germany, many have faced challenges in employment, prompting calls for policies that support their continued presence in the workforce.
