The Chennai-based Veranda Learning Solutions has announced a partnership with Norway’s Nursing Europe AS to empower Indian nurses with the skills needed to secure employment in Europe’s healthcare sector. Nursing Europe AS specialises in providing fully EU-qualified and licensed nurses to healthcare providers across European nations.
The partnership is projected to generate significant revenue, with estimates of over ₹200 crore in the next 3-5 years by placing over 2,000 students, says a release.
Europe faces a critical shortage of healthcare professionals, with the World Health Organization projecting a shortfall of 13 million healthcare workers by 2030.
Countries like Norway, Denmark, Germany, Austria, and Italy urgently need qualified nurses to meet this growing demand. This shortage presents a unique opportunity for Indian nurses, who are highly skilled but often encounter challenges such as degree recognition, language proficiency and cultural adaptation when seeking employment abroad, the release said.
The global skilling initiative will offer a range of training and support services, including courses designed to meet European healthcare standards, focusing on both clinical and non-clinical competencies and preparing Indian nurses to achieve fluency in the languages required for effective patient care in their destination countries, the release said.
The share price of Veranda Learning on the NSE closed at ₹234.80, up by ₹11.42 or 5.11 per cent.
