The energy transition taking place in Pomerania is not only the construction of wind farms, but also the planned first nuclear power plant in Poland in Choczew. This is a venture that, without the right workforce, has no chance of being realized.

Since welders and fitters of building installations, for example, are among the scarce professions in the region, migrant workers will be needed.

In this case, without the support of foreign workers, the development of Pomerania will become increasingly difficult ,” explains Rafał Raczyński, PhD, coordinator of the Migration Observatory at the Center for Sustainable Development at the University of Gdansk.

Kamila Kowalska, PhD of the Institute of Political Science and the Migration Observatory at the University of Gdansk points out that Pomerania has the potential to become a center of innovation and a place where the diversity and skills of workers from all over the world will be fully utilized.
