Germany Wants to Train Migrants to Become Truck Drivers

Dangerous: With young men veering away from blue collar careers, Germany looks to train asylum seekers from the Islamic world to become truck drivers, according Austrian news site Wochenblick.

The initiative is called “The drive into your new future” and aims to entice the migrant population to get behind the wheel of a 20,000-pound big rig.

The idea is the brainchild of the SVG Driving School North. The German Red Cross (DRK) and the Logistics Organization (UVL) have been searching for a way to tackle the shortage of professional drivers on German roads.

Trainees will be supervised by a “refugee representative” along their three year path to getting put in the driver’s seat. The candidates are required to pass two exams as well as have their language skills and the status of residence reviewed.

In Angela Merkel’s migrant-heavy Germany, the new arrivals can’t sign up fast enough. “Within a few days, 90 interested parties from all over Schleswig-Holstein and even from Hamburg have reported that 50 more refugees have been placed on a waiting list,” the head of the Red Cross in Kiel, Ilka Hübner, told the press.

  1. What could go wrong? After all, I heard they just need jobs and then they won’t turn to terrorism.

    …and hey I’ve got an idea! Why not teach them to fly planes?
