Highlighting Germany's growing demand for skilled workers across sectors, including healthcare, transport, mechatronics, and advanced manufacturing, the Minister noted that Karnataka produces lakhs of trained youth each year. "Our skills are world-class, but opportunities are still catching up. It's time to bridge that gap," he added. Employment opportunities The state government aims to place 500 youth in German firms annually by 2026, scaling up to 1,000 by 2030, Patil said. To support this, skill hubs with German language labs, international curricula, and pre-departure training modules are being developed in Bengaluru, Mysuru, Kalaburagi, and other districts. A digital tracking system will also be introduced to mentor and monitor each student throughout their journey, making Karnataka the first Indian state to offer a government-regulated global mobility programme that prioritises skills, safety, and social dignity, Patil added.
