Diploma recognition and work in Germany

This question is from the community:

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to inquire about the process of recognizing my civil engineering diploma from Afghanistan University and seeking employment in Germany. I have four years of experience in the field and graduated from Afghanistan University in 2019. Currently, I am residing in ZUA Herford Germany Camp.

Recently, I visited Daikuni , job center Muzaik and Socialite to inquire about the process of recognizing my diploma and pay the cost of translation and recognize. It costs about 450€ as told. Unfortunately, we did not receive a positive response from them regarding the cost of translation and recognition. They informed us that since we are currently residing in the camp, they cannot proceed with the document procedure until we transfer to another location.

And i am looking also, if possible, I want to make internship with one of construction company to improve my skills here in Germany

As I am eager to take advantage of this free time to recognize and translate my university documents, I would appreciate any guidance or assistance you can provide in this regard. Please advise me on the necessary steps and procedures to follow to ensure that my diploma is recognized and accepted in Germany.

Thank you for your time and consideration, and I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Sincerely,
