Kerala aids mass migration of second generation of nurses to Germany
Why it matters
Kerala is experiencing a new wave of nurse migration to Germany, with over 900 nurses already sent and an additional 700 candidates in various stages of deployment. This initiative is a collaborative effort between the Kerala government and the German Federal Employment Agency, marking a significant shift from the irregular recruitment practices of the past. The 'Triple Win' program, implemented by NoRKA Roots, focuses on identifying suitable candidates, providing necessary skills, and offering German language training in Kerala. This structured approach has garnered positive responses in Germany and is seen as a model for future recruitment efforts. The program has also expanded to include caregivers and electricians, reflecting the growing demand for skilled workers in Germany. Notably, the entire recruitment process is free of middlemen, with costs covered by the German government, making it an attractive opportunity for Keralite nurses.
