Delhi Students to get dual vocational training in German Industries

Students from Delhi government schools will take part in a dual vocational training program in Germany with the goal of giving them significant work experience and advanced technical capabilities.

In an announcement on Tuesday, the Delhi government said that it is organising this program for students who have completed their 12th grade in association with the Goethe Institute and top German businesses.

According to the statement, young people from a few chosen countries can participate in a 3.5-year program called dual vocational training in Germany through the "APAL" project, which involves training partnerships with schools in Latin America, India, and Uzbekistan. The program is run in collaboration with well-known German industries.

"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," AAP leader Manish Sisodia said during an orientation held at Sarvodaya Kanya Vidyalaya in West Vinod Nagar on Tuesday.

"By improving the quality of education and providing them with global opportunities, this top-notch training is a major step towards securing a brighter future for children in government schools," he continued.

According to the announcement, the first cohort of the "APAL" initiative, which will include about thirty to forty students, is expected to start. German language instruction will be implemented in "Schools of Specialised Excellence," according to the statement, which was formalised two years ago by a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). It said that 4,500 pupils benefit from German instruction now offered in 30 government institutions in Delhi.
