Three nurses from Andhra Pradesh have travelled to Germany for language training and employment under ‘Project Vasudha,’ an initiative of the Andhra Pradesh State Skill Development Corporation (APSSDC) to facilitate career opportunities for qualified nurses.

They will initially receive a monthly stipend of €1,200, inclusive of food and accommodation, while undergoing six months of B2-level German language training in Germany. They will also complete the professional recognition process required for employment. On successful completion of the language training and professional recognition process, the nurses will receive a monthly salary of €3,400.

APSSDC Managing Director and CEO G. Ganesh Kumar said: “The first batch travelling to Germany marked an important milestone in creating international career opportunities for skilled professionals from Andhra Pradesh.”

The programme is being implemented in collaboration with the Overseas Manpower Company Andhra Pradesh Limited (OMCAP) and Skill Bee Pvt. Ltd.

APSSDC Executive Director and OMCAP General Manager D. Manohar said: “The programme offers nurses a structured pathway covering German language training, professional recognition and overseas employment support.”
