Hyderabad: Minister for Labour and Mines Dr. G. Vivek Venkatswamy said the government was expanding TOMCOM overseas jobs opportunities to place youth from Telangana in international markets, particularly in Germany.
Speaking at a press meet in Chennur on Wednesday, he said the Telangana Overseas Manpower Company was actively facilitating overseas placements. He added that Germany required nearly five lakh workers annually and had offered to issue around 90,000 visas each year.
The Minister said the government had strengthened skill development systems to support this effort. Through Advanced Technology Centres, authorities were training about 25,000 youth every year. He added that the state was spending nearly ₹4,000 crore on this initiative.
TOMCOM overseas jobs gain momentum with training support
Vivek Venkatswamy said the TOMCOM overseas jobs programme included German language training. He said candidates could complete this training within four months, which would improve their chances of securing employment abroad.
At the same time, he warned youth against fraudulent private agencies. Instead, he advised them to rely only on official channels for overseas placements. He noted that Indian workers enjoyed a strong reputation globally for discipline and adherence to laws.
Highlighting benefits, he said jobs in Germany offered salaries exceeding ₹2 lakh per month. Therefore, he urged unemployed youth to make full use of these opportunities through TOMCOM.
TOMCOM overseas jobs align with state employment goals
The Minister said the Congress government was working to fulfil its promise of providing two lakh jobs. He credited A. Revanth Reddy for facilitating over one lakh job opportunities so far.
In addition, he said the TOMCOM overseas jobs initiative complemented broader employment efforts in the state. He reiterated that the government aimed to create sustainable livelihood opportunities for youth.
Vivek Venkatswamy also said the Telangana Gig Workers Act had emerged as a model for the country. He added that the government remained committed to protecting workers in the unorganised sector.
