Hyderabad: The TOMCOM overseas jobs initiative gained pace on April 1 after Labour, Employment and Mines Minister Dr. G. Vivek Venkatswamy said Germany and Japan had strong demand for nurses, with salaries reaching up to ₹2 lakh a month.
He said a delegation would soon visit Germany to study employment openings. He also said the state had already trained around 1,000 candidates for construction jobs in Israel. However, that process had been paused because of the war there. He added that the government would move to restart those opportunities once conditions returned to normal.
Earlier, Vivek Venkatswamy and Principal Secretary Dana Kishore inspected the TGIIC building at Masab Tank. The Employment and Training Department had taken the building on lease to establish the TOMCOM office. During the visit, the minister told officials to build the infrastructure in a way that could deliver full training to students who wanted overseas employment.
He said the government wanted to create foreign employment opportunities on a large scale through TOMCOM. He also said the leased building would be developed to provide end-to-end support to candidates before they left for jobs abroad.
TOMCOM overseas jobs plan focused on Germany and Japan
Vivek Venkatswamy said the overseas hiring demand was especially high in the nursing sector in Germany and Japan. Therefore, he said the state had started planning targeted training and placement efforts. He said the coming Germany visit would help the government examine job demand, recruitment channels, and the training needs linked to those openings.
He also said candidates would receive special preparation in foreign culture, language, and lifestyle. That training, he said, would help them adjust better after reaching another country. In turn, the TOMCOM overseas jobs programme was expected to improve placement readiness and reduce difficulties for first-time migrant workers.
The minister said the state had set aside ₹90 crore for TOMCOM under the leadership of Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka. He said that allocation would support the expansion of the system and strengthen training capacity for foreign placements.
Masab Tank centre backed TOMCOM overseas jobs expansion
The minister said all required facilities would be created in the leased TGIIC building. He said the centre would train students from start to finish for overseas employment. That included skill preparation as well as orientation for life and work in other countries.
He also highlighted the ₹2,000 scholarship introduced by the Chief Minister for students studying in Advanced Technology Centres. He said that support would benefit students significantly. Moreover, interested candidates from those centres would be identified and trained for foreign jobs.
At the end of the visit, Vivek Venkatswamy urged young people who wanted employment abroad to register with TOMCOM. He said the government was building the new office and training system to turn the TOMCOM overseas jobs plan into a wider channel for placements in multiple countries.
