Kerala Government Offers Free Overseas Recruitment for Trained Nurses

Nursing institutes have teamed up to empower training after the Indian state government decided to bear the expenses for recruiting trained nurses in West Asia.

Labour Minister, Shibu Baby John, said that the Kerala State government would make recruitment of trained nurses from the state completely free of cost.

The Minister discussed with the Kuwait Government and said that the employers have decided to bear the recruitment charge. ‘NICE’ (Nursing Institute of Career Enhancement), a centre for excellence in nursing under the Kerala Academy of Skill Excellence (KASE), has also decided to sign an agreement with ODEPC and NORKA in the wake of the State Government’s move making overseas recruitment of nurses only through government agencies.
