In Kerala, a government-to-government partnership has been in place with Norka Roots since 2021. In Germany, the International and Specialized Services (ZAV) are responsible for your admission to the Triple Win programme and your placement with employers. The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH supports Norka Roots with its own offices and a local team. The GIZ assists with your professional and linguistic preparation and helps you integrate in Germany.
In Kerala we offer 3 different paths – depending on your level of education and your current situation:
Two application and selection rounds are held each year for nurses who have completed their vocational training. Norka Roots announces the dates in a call for applicants on its website.
If you would like to work in nursing but haven’t yet completed any vocational training, you can apply for this path. You will then embark on a three-year vocational training course to become a registered nurse in Germany. You can complete your vocational training at a hospital or in an elderly care institution. The application rounds take place once a year in autumn and are announced on the Norka Roots website.
As part of the Global Skills Partnerships programme, we cooperate with various training partners. You can start preparing for a nursing job in Germany during your vocational training in Kerala.

Geriatric or long-term care institutions specialize in caring for older people or people that have special care requirements. Residents may include people suffering from dementia or Alzheimer's disease or people with reduced mobility, after an accident or due to aging, for instance.
In India, “geriatric care institutions” are often understood to mean institutions that care for older people who don’t have any family members to look after them. In Germany, on the other hand, these institutions tend to specialize in providing healthcare and nursing care to older people, regardless of whether they have family members to help them or not.
Germany offers nurses a wide range of opportunities for their long-term professional development. With Triple Win, not only will your qualifications be recognized, you will also have a solid basis for building your career in the German healthcare sector. The skills and certifications you acquire will enable you to build on your qualifications – through further training, specialization or being promoted to a management position, for example.
Our support doesn’t end when you arrive in Germany. As a link between nurses and German employers, our team in Germany helps you with your integration, assists you with the initial administrative formalities, organizes virtual welcome meetings and helps you get your qualifications recognized.
