Delhi Government Students to get Dual Vocational Training in Germany

This initiative, organized by the Delhi Government in collaboration with the Goethe Institute and leading German industries, targets students who have completed their Class 12 education.

Delhi government schools’ students are set to embark on a unique dual vocational training program in Germany, designed to equip them with advanced technical skills and invaluable work experience. This initiative, organized by the Delhi Government in collaboration with the Goethe Institute and leading German industries, targets students who have completed their Class 12 education.

The 'APAL' Project: A Global Initiative

The 'APAL' project is part of a broader training partnership that spans schools in Latin America, India, and Uzbekistan. It offers young people from select countries the chance to undergo a comprehensive 3.5-year vocational training program in Germany, conducted in collaboration with prominent German industries. This initiative aims to enhance the employability of participants by providing them with hands-on experience in their chosen fields.

Orientation Marks a Significant Milestone

An orientation session was held on Tuesday at Sarvodaya Kanya Vidyalaya in West Vinod Nagar, where AAP leader Manish Sisodia expressed pride in the program's progression. “I feel proud that the step we took two years ago in partnership with the German Embassy has reached the stage where German industry is willing to invite our students,” Sisodia stated. He emphasized that this world-class training represents a significant step towards securing a brighter future for children in government schools.

First Cohort Ready to Take Off

The first cohort of the program is set to include around 30-40 students, as detailed in the statement from the government. This marks a pivotal opportunity for participants, allowing them to gain international exposure and technical expertise that can enhance their career prospects.

The partnership was formalized two years ago through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at introducing the German language in 'Schools of Specialized Excellence.' Currently, German is taught in 30 Delhi government schools, benefiting approximately 4,500 students. This initiative not only aims to elevate the quality of education but also opens up global opportunities for students, aligning with the government's vision of providing a robust educational framework.

The dual vocational training program in Germany is a landmark initiative that promises to transform the educational landscape for students in Delhi's government schools. By bridging the gap between local education and global industry standards, the program is set to empower the next generation with the skills and experience needed to thrive in an increasingly competitive job market.
