Germany is in need of qualified engineers. Industries involved in production and manufacturing sectors are running out of qualified engineers. The number of German graduates coming out of Colleges each year is not just sufficient enough to meet the demand. That’s why companies in Germany are recruiting engineering graduates passing out from good colleges in developing countries. Indian graduates too may make use of this opportunity and build a career there.
