"Some 3,000 to 5,000 competent and skilled Iranian labor force will be sent to Germany," Head of Iranian Technical and Vocational Training Organization (TVTO) said.

Discussing the preparation of preliminaries for sending skilled Iranian labor force to Germany, Soleiman Pakseresht said, “the issue of sending skilled Iranian workforce to Germany was taken into consideration in our recent trip to the European country.”

He went on to add, “Germany enjoys ample job opportunities. This European country has an integrated structure and standards for hiring foreign workforce which is monitored and defined within the framework of an advanced training system.”

Moreover, the eligibility and qualification of workforce should first be assessed, he said, adding “applicants should meet the criteria set by Germany, the most important of which is fluency in German language and passing citizenship and civil educations.”

Elsewhere in his remarks, he pointed to the way of reference of applicants of working to Germany and said, “in this regard, initial agreement was made between Iranian and German officials, based on which, the way of admittance and necessary terms and conditions will be announced later.

"With the coordination made in this regard, an Iranian delegation will head to Germany in the near future to finalize an MoU which will put into effect by Sept. 2018," he added.
