Business leader succession could be a promising avenue for skilled workers, as suggested by the Minister.
Amid the corporate landscape where job cuts are becoming a common trend, management personnel could seize various opportunities as companies face succession issues. Economy Minister Nicole Hoffmeister-Kraut is optimistic about this scenario, suggesting that skilled and management personnel are not left in the lurch. "There's plenty of room for businesses to thrive in the realm of succession," she declared, ahead of the two-day Economic Ministers Conference in Stuttgart.
