00:00They've got working German and are raring to go to Deutschland.
00:07These young Indians are preparing to join Germany's vocational training system
00:12that combines studies with practical experience on the job.
00:20It's not just the language, they're also learning about German culture and lifestyle.
00:30As the class breaks, they test each other's knowledge of their destination country.
00:37Most are due to start jobs in healthcare, hospitality, food processing or transportation this year.
00:46What you see here is diplomacy in action,
00:49as India and Germany take their people-to-people relations to a new high.
00:53Germany is short of skilled labour, while India has a wealth of untapped talent.
00:58The idea is to combine these together to create a win-win.
01:03To play their part, these students will have to get used to life in Germany.
01:09People are punctual, but the train system is not.
01:13So, I hear you end up late.
01:15And even if we are five minutes late, they can scold us a lot.
01:18Then they may judge us based on that.
01:21And on top of that, the weather in Germany is always cold, cold, cold.
01:24That's not good. I don't like it.
01:28Germans drink a lot of beer. They believe in enjoying their lives.
01:32The people here are very stressed. I would love to go to Germany.
01:35I'll complete a three-year apprentice course.

01:46I'm very excited to go. I've started shopping already.
01:51Rajesh Kundru switched careers to take advantage of the German push to attract Indians.
01:56Germany used to be a hard sell to people looking for a future abroad.
02:03They would look at the UK, Canada, the US, Australia, New Zealand.
02:14I'd tell them that going to those countries would cost thousands of dollars,
02:20and with repeat course fees.
02:23But now that these countries are closing their doors,
02:28people are increasingly looking at Germany.
02:34Social media makes Germany feel just a swipe away.
02:38They giggle at a video of DIY plumbing in Germany.
02:42Not what they imagined they would be signing up for,
02:46but that could soon be a part of their lives too.
02:53in the past four years,
02:55they would be a part of their communities.
02:56It would be a part of their lives too.
02:57That's a part of their lives too.
02:58You're like a part of their lives too.
02:59That's right.
03:00That's it.
03:01There's a part of the building where it happens.
03:03There's a lot of things for me to be with.
