“We are helping out youth, who are aspiring to work overseas. Based on the job requirements, we teach language to them with active collaboration of experts as language and soft skills are required to work overseas,” said a senior TOMCOM official.
Hospitality remains the top sector in terms of job requirements.

Candidates get residential training in German and Japanese Language by TOMCOM at National Institute of Tourism and Hospitality Management at Gachibowli , National Skill Training Institute at Vidyanagar and GMR Varalakshmi foundation at Shamsabad.
The preference for non-health-related jobs is sought mostly by northern districts of Telangana particularly from composite Nizamabad and Karimnagar, besides parts of Hyderabad. Apart from Islamic countries in the Gulf, the workers from Jagtial and Nizamabad have also landed in Israel in 2025 as workers from the state.
Composite districts of Warangal and Khammam have increased their preferences to non-Gulf countries including Germany, Japan, UK and Canada, given the high demand for nurses there.
