The Skilled Workers Alliance Hannover can look back on an impressive track record: Over the last ten years, 21 projects have been funded in the Hannover Region as part of the ESF guideline "Supporting Regional Skilled Workforce Alliances". With a funding sum of 3.5 million euros from the EU and the state of Lower Saxony as well as a co-financing pot of 350,000 euros per year from the Hannover Region, important initiatives have been made possible that would not have been possible without this financial support.

In addition, the Fachkräfteallianz Hannover has initiated three projects with a nationwide reach that have attracted and retained skilled workers for the Hannover Region: The "Adelante" project for Spanish skilled workers, the "IT macht Schule" project to promote young IT talent and the "Robonatives" robotics project for young talent.
