State proceeds with held up Germany job project

In a bid to revive the stalled skill migration project with Germany, the Maharashtra government has granted permission to Rahul Rekhawar, the director of the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT), to visit Germany for a study tour from July 13 to 19.

The visit is seen as a key move to speed up the implementation of the two-year-old agreement signed between the state and the German state of Baden-Württemberg.

Organised by the Federal Foreign Office of Germany, Mumbai, the study tour to which Rekhawar has been invited is titled 'Integration of German as a Foreign Language with Recruitment of Skilled Workers in the South and South-Eastern Region'. He will meet organisations involved in skill recruitment and training, with a focus on integrating German language education as part of the migration preparation.
