TerraTern, an AI-based global mobility startup, has initiated a significant strategic effort to help India retain the skilled nursing workforce by providing a ₹1 crore scholarship fund. This historic project announced in Bengaluru, Karnataka, is committed to empowering Indian nurses by breaking the barrier of money and logistics that mostly keep the nurses away from exploring international careers. The main aim of the fund is to reduce the wide global talent shortage in healthcare by offering a financial and technology-oriented career ladder where nurses can get employment opportunities in countries with high demand, such as Germany, Australia, and Canada

Vision and launch of the fund

The timing of the launch is critical as the world healthcare industry is struggling with a massive shortage of professionals. The large and well-qualified population of nurses in India is ideally placed to fill this gap. Their hopes are usually hampered by complicated visa processes, no clear-cut guidelines, and financial barriers.

The scholarship of TerraTern aims to directly solve these problems by offering the necessary financial aid with its advanced AI-based platform to form an efficient, transparent, and smooth path to international job opportunities.

Since its creation, TerraTern has become a force in the global talent mobility arena. Divyansh Chaudhari, a serial entrepreneur and a former co-founder of IELTSMaterial.com (and an acquisition by CollegeDekho Group), founded the company. His vision of the firm has been on the transformation of immigration by the use of technology.

Divyansh Chaudhari put the initiative in a broader context beyond financial help. This initiative is based on the history that has been developed by TerraTern, a company that has helped over 8,000 job interviews, over 10,000 visa approvals, and a remarkable 99.7% visa success rate.

Structure of the scholarship

The demand for nurses is growing throughout the globe. It is estimated that by the year 2030, there will be up to 500,000 vacancies in the healthcare sector of Germany alone. This provides significant opportunities to Indian professionals since India is already being considered as the second-largest exporter of healthcare professionals in the world. The initiative of TerraTern is aimed at boosting the health sector of India by strategically locating its skilled nurses in systems outside India.

The scholarship is designed in such a way as to benefit the nurses who are going through different migration routes, which are specialized vocational training programs, permanent residence, and work permits. The general aim is to develop a new generation of Indian healthcare professionals who can contribute significantly and efficiently to the global health systems and, at the same time, achieve their own and professional goals of a worldwide career. The experience of the staff of TerraTern also contributes to this excellence standard, as the team of the company includes more than 100 specialists, such as British Council-qualified counsellors, CELTA and IDP IELTS-qualified language trainers, and immigration experts certified by the IOM UN Migration and the Institute for Industrial Development (IID). 

Key components of the scholarship

The difference that stands out is the characteristic symbiosis of financial support and proprietary Artificial Intelligence technology at TerraTern. The scholarship is also uniquely structured to operate in harmony with the entire set of digital solutions in the company, meaning that not only are future nurses being financed, but they are also being oriented to their international experience.

AI Eligibility Assessment enables scholarship applicants to check their eligibility for different world nursing programs and visa options in 50+ countries in a single move without having to take time to fill in long forms.

AI-Powered Mock Visa Interviews use the natural interaction with a visa officer to provide personalized coaching and real-time feedback to make a candidate feel confident and have a high chance of approval.

Personalised Digital Dashboard in which successful applicants will have access to an easy-to-use dashboard enabling them to gain full transparency, accessing real-time updates of their application status, submitted documents, and language training progress.

The AI-Enhanced Job Matching works well in matching qualified nurses with employment opportunities in the highest-level healthcare organizations in foreign countries, automating the hiring of specialty nurses and programs, such as the Ausbildung in Germany.

Conclusion

The introduction of the ₹1 crore scholarship fund by TerraTern is a huge milestone in releasing the international career potential of the nursing workforce in India. TerraTern is effectively tackling the financial and systemic barriers to becoming a nurse through its strategic mix of essential funding and cutting-edge AI-based personalized advice, skill verification, and job placement.
