The Maharashtra government has partnered with the Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education (MSBTE) and the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) to prepare diploma students for employment opportunities in Germany and Japan, with a focus on language training and industry-relevant skills.

The agreement was formalised at Mantralaya in the presence of Higher and Technical Education Minister Chandrakant Patil. Officials said the initiative aims to bridge the gap between technical education and international job markets by equipping students with the skills required to work abroad.
