03 December 2021

To tap into emerging job opportunities in the health sector in a post-pandemic world, the Kerala state government signed a memorandum of Understanding with the German Federal Employment Agency, for the hiring of nurses from Kerala, reports The Indian Express. On behalf of the state government, the memorandum was signed by Norka Roots (Department of Non Resident Keralites Affairs), the department for expatriates from Kerala. The German recruitment programme, dubbed 'Triple Win', is the first of its kind in India held under the sponsorship of a government, said Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan in a Facebook post. More than 10,000 job opportunities are expected to come up for nurses in Germany in the post-Covid scenario, he said. The MoU has opened the way for recruitment to Germany, one of the most powerful and industrialised countries in the world, Vijayan added. The chief minister added that 'Triple Win' is reckoned as the first step towards tapping the possibilities of migration to European countries. The project would help the recruiters to hire the best nursing professionals.
