In a strategic move to address the skilled manpower shortage in Europe, the Maharashtra state government has announced the establishment of five German language training centres in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad. This initiative follows a recent agreement with the German state of Baden-Wurttemberg, aimed at creating job opportunities for skilled workers in Germany.
Earlier this year, in February, the Maharashtra state government formalized its partnership with Baden-Wurttemberg, a state in southwest Germany, due to an urgent need for skilled professionals in various sectors. This collaboration is set to open doors for Maharashtra’s youth to work in Germany by equipping them with the necessary language skills and sector-specific training.
The state government plans to establish five German language training centres in Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad, which are expected to commence operations next month. An MoU was signed between Goethe Institute Max Muller Bhawan, Pune, and the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) to focus on imparting German language skills to students, aligning with the needs of Baden-Wurttemberg.
A total of 30 sectors have been identified to target at least 10,000 skilled professionals for training, including free German language classes for eligible candidates and additional free skill development training tailored to match the requirements of Baden-Wurttemberg’s job market. Government support will also be provided to offer additional sector-specific skill development programs to bridge the gap between educational curriculum in Maharashtra and professional standards in Germany.
This initiative is crucial in addressing the skilled manpower shortage in Germany while providing valuable job opportunities for Indian professionals. By aligning training programs with the needs of foreign markets, the state government is enhancing employability and fostering international collaboration and exchange. The establishment of these training centres marks a significant step towards globalizing educational and professional opportunities for Maharashtra’s workforce.
