Overseas Job Opportunities: Countries including Japan, Germany, Italy, and New Zealand are facing severe shortages of skilled workers, prompting governments to open their doors to foreign talent with relaxed visa policies and attractive pay packages. These measures aim to address workforce gaps and accelerate economic growth.
Germany, for instance, is experiencing an acute shortage of professionals across engineering, IT, healthcare, mobility technology, and green energy sectors. In response, the German government has simplified visa rules, lowered EU Blue Card salary thresholds, introduced faster digital processing, and launched the Opportunity Card to attract global talent. Indian students and professionals looking to study and work in Germany now have more accessible pathways than ever.
Avinav Nigam, Founder and CEO of TERN Group, said, "From what we are seeing in our work, Germany's labour challenge isn't a short-term skills gap, it's a structural transition. With nearly 600,000 roles unfilled today and millions of retirements ahead, the country is rebuilding the technical backbone of its economy."
