The initiative is part of the KASE’s International Skill Training and Employability Scheme (iSTEP).
Speaking on the occasion here on Tuesday, Labour Minister Shibu Baby John said that Kerala’s educational and socio-economic factors were best suited for the skill development practised by German companies. He said that he was enlightened by a new vision of skill development on his recent visit to Munich.
