I find it odd that the article compares US green-card immigrants with the war zone refugees that fled to Germany. I mean, obviously, the US is only choosing highly qualified immigrants while Germany kind of had to accept anyone, regardless of their work history, because it was a humanitarian crisis.
The result is, unsurprisingly, that many of those people arriving in Germany - who had to flee because we bombed the shit out of their country - aren't suitably trained for white-collar high-tech jobs.
As for the "Germany hasn’t been very good at training them" part, I think it just takes a lot more time. Many of those refugees effectively have to learn the language, then redo high school, then finish university. So we're looking at a 10+ year time horizon before they are ready for the job market.
