Govet_germany_vocational_trainingThe Indian government as well as the Indian industry and Indian training providers make a point of finding action- and market-oriented know-how ,specifically in Germany. They cooperate with German training providers who are network members of iMOVE, the export initiative of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. iMOVE aims at promoting international collaboration and the initiation of cooperation and business relationships in vocational training and continuing education. In this article, Silvia Niediek, Regional Manager for South Asia at iMOVE shares various details about their initiatives in vocational education and training and opportunities for partnerships.

German training providers offer a variety of training measures which answer several issues pertaining to the Indian training sector. While some partners in India wish to upgrade their curricula and syllabi, others aim at digitalizing training content or setting up new training centers. Current partnerships comprise:

  • The development of training structures within regional industry clusters
  • The design of bridging courses to facilitate vocational training of young Indians in Germany
  • The implementation of internet platform for the exchange of know-how and for e-learning purposes in Indian training institutions.

Germany has a long-standing tradition in technology and enjoys a high reputation for the demand-driven and practical orientation of its qualification programs. The integration of professional, social and methodological competencies characterizes the kind of knowledge German partners can provide.

The high quality of vocational education and training in Germany is not least reflected in the high quality of German products, which enjoy a high degree of esteem worldwide: innovative goods, state-of-the-art technologies and the results of solid and high-class craftsmanship that offer a high degree of precision and a long product life.

International companies, chambers and industry federations and associations are supported in their fight against skills shortage. Training institutions find cooperation partners from Germany to upgrade their training offers. Public authorities gain direct access to German training expertise.

iMOVE services also include a multilingual database which contains the business profiles of around 250 German training providers and an interactive B2B marketplace where interested parties worldwide can publish their training demands and requests in order to find a suitable German partner. Personal guidance and assistance are provided on demand.

Currently, various stakeholders in the Indian training industry seek to cooperate with German training providers in order to identify young Indians who wish to receive vocational training in Germany and to prepare them regarding language and cultural skills. The iMOVE office in India acts as the central facilitator to bring Indian and German partners together. An iMOVE expert in India collects all requests on the Indian side, advises on how to phrase offers and demands, and helps finding the appropriate cooperation partners.
