Jerin Jacob, a nurse from Kerala, is set to fly to Germany to work at a hospital in Heidelberg. The new Skilled Workers Immigration Act of Germany has made it easier for people from other countries to take up jobs and settle down in that country. Goethe Zentrum Coimbatore, a language center in India, has been instrumental in facilitating job placement for skilled Indian workers in Germany. This partnership provides opportunities for skilled workers in sectors such as healthcare and engineering who have completed the required level of German language course and have specified years of work experience. The shortage of skilled workforce in Germany and the high salary levels make it an attractive destination for Indian workers. The Goethe Zentrum Coimbatore is also working towards agreements with agencies in Germany to further facilitate the placement of German language learning skilled workers.
