The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) on Tuesday signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Indo-German Chamber of Commerce (IGCC) in the area of vocational education and training.

The MoU was signed in the presence of German ambassador Martin Ney.

According to the MoU, students who complete specific training courses here in India will get a certificate that is recognised in India and facilitates its recognition in Germany and they will be able to apply for jobs in companies in India and much more easily for jobs in Germany.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and German Chancellor Angela Merkel had mooted the idea in May last year which was spelled out by the Joint Working Group of the two agreements in October last.

Since then, the IGCC and the MSDE hammered out the details to prepare the MoU.
