Germany to court Indian IT talent – starting with easier visa application processes
German chancellor Olaf Scholz has expressed his country's intention to import more qualified IT workers from India.
"India has so much talent to offer and we want to benefit from that cooperation here in India but also with an eye to recruiting and attracting those talents to Germany and employing them there in our industry sectors," declared Scholz. The chancellor told reporters Germany will ease the visa process to achieve the goal.
Scholz made the remarks on a visit to India, and was diplomatic enough to discuss tech industry collaboration beyond luring local talent offshore.the two countries need to work together in the research and development of IT and software.India is proud of its tech sector, and many see a role in the industry as a stepping stone to a job in another nation.that skilled Indian nationals that go abroad often stay abroad.
Also in the US, India has lobbied hard for retention of the H-1B visa that allows skilled workers from India to be employed stateside.But with tens of thousands of IT workers recently , H-1B holders who lost their gigs are allowed just 60 days to secure alternative employment, or visas, before they are required to leave the US.
