Officials confirmed to IANS that in a major step towards boosting employment and skill development, the Rajasthan Government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to launch a structured Soft Skills Development Programme for ITI graduates, which promises jobs for them and also opens new avenues to settle in Germany and work.

The initiative, part of the outcome of the Rising Rajasthan Investment Summit, aims to equip over 400 candidates with essential soft skills and industry readiness, preparing them for employment in the home services sector.
