Germany is emerging as a hotspot for skilled professionals and international students. Indians are showing growing interest in working there. While countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia are making it increasingly difficult for international students to study or work in the countries, Berlin has opened its doors wide. Skilled professionals are in tremendous demand across multiple sectors.
According to Germany’s Federal Foreign Office official platform, Deutschland.de, the country needs qualified professionals across various industries. In total, about 2 lakh professionals are required there, with demand spanning sectors from engineering to green energy.
Here’s a look at the six professions currently in highest demand:
