Germany opens doors to Filipino skilled workers

The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA) on Wednesday said the government will soon deploy skilled workers to Germany.

According to JP Soriano’s report on “Balitanghali,” POEA said the Philippines and Germany have created a technical working group for skilled workers under the Triple Win Agreement.

The Philippines has previously deployed nurses to Germany under the agreement.

“Kaya ngayon, pa-pattern nila ‘yung ating framework for the deployment of nurses doon sa other skills nila (This is why they are going to do the same pattern for the framework of the deployment of nurses to other skills),” POEA Administrator Bernard Olalia said.

At present, the technical working group is studying the possible qualifications of skilled workers.

As this is government to government, those interested may apply to POEA.

“Nandyan na po lahat ng other skills like, for example, sa medical field, sa technological field, sa IT, sa accountancy, sa engineering, sa lahat pa po ng professions na available (Everything is there like, for example, in the medical feed, technological field, IT, accountancy, engineering, and other professions are available),” Olalia said.

Once the agreement is finalized and job orders have been filed, the POEA said it will announce an advisory on how and when to apply.

The agency also warned the public against illegal recruiters. -MDM, GMA News
