Global Nurse Force Partners with Tamil Nadu Apex Skill Development Centre to Launch Global Healthcare Careers for State’s Nurses
Global Nurse Force (GNF), a world leader in international healthcare recruitment and skills training, today announced a significant partnership with the Tamil Nadu Apex Skill Development Centre for Logistics (TNAPEX), a strategic initiative of the Government of Tamil Nadu. The state's skill development framework will be enhanced by the integration of GNF's globally recognized training and ethical placement ecosystem into this Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), which will provide nursing professionals in Tamil Nadu with unparalleled international career opportunities.
Through this collaboration, Global Nurse Force will extend its two decades of expertise to the healthcare workforce of Tamil Nadu. The partnership is designed to identify, train, and place the state's skilled nurses in premier healthcare institutions in high-demand countries, including the USA, UK, Germany, and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region. GNF will spearhead the initiative, leveraging TNAPEX's extensive network to mobilize talent from across the state and deliver its life-changing career programs.
Tamil Nadu is home to a vast and dedicated community of nursing professionals, who form the backbone of the state's healthcare system. However, many face challenges including limited career progression, wage stagnation, and demanding work environments. This groundbreaking partnership offers a transformative alternative. For a nurse from a humble background in Tamil Nadu, this is more than just a job opportunity; it is a gateway to professional respect, financial stability for their families, and a life of dignity on the global stage. By providing a structured and ethical route to international employment, GNF is set to fundamentally change the lives of thousands, turning their aspirations into tangible achievements.
Key initiatives driven by Global Nurse Force under this MoU include:
• Future-Ready Skill Development: A collaboratively designed curriculum will provide competency-based training that reflects modern clinical practice, giving learners the in-demand skills required by employers worldwide.
• Immersive, Expert-Led Instruction: Certified educators will lead hands-on clinical rotations and classes rich with practical simulations. For full transparency, each participant's progress will be monitored on a shared digital platform.
• Global Competency and Support: The program is benchmarked to international standards and includes personalized coaching and dedicated English language training to fully prepare participants for licensure and a successful career abroad.
• Zero-Cost International Placement: Utilizing GNF's flagship zero-fee model, qualified candidates gain access to highly sought-after positions in the USA, UK, Ireland, and Germany, providing an ethical and life-changing pathway to an international career.
Lalit Pattanaik, CEO, Global Nurse Force, stated: “The aspirations of Tamil Nadu’s talented nurses deserve to be met with world-class opportunities. By bringing our global expertise and proven recruitment model to the state, we are creating direct and ethical pathways to rewarding international careers. This partnership with TNAPEX allows us to provide future-focused clinical and language skills, empowering nurses to succeed on a global stage.”
This partnership aims to train and upskill a significant number of healthcare professionals in Tamil Nadu, solidifying GNF's mission to build a globally-ready healthcare workforce from India.
After the formal MoU exchange, Paramananda Santra, Chief Business Officer of Global Nurse Force, said: “This collaboration is a pivotal step towards fulfilling the greater vision of making India the skill capital of the world. Global Nurse Force was built on the principle that every talented healthcare professional deserves access to the best training and ethical, zero-cost global opportunities. Partnering with a visionary government body like TNAPEX allows us to embed these pathways at the grassroots level, ensuring that the skilled nurses of Tamil Nadu can contribute to and excel within the global healthcare ecosystem.”
The Director of TNAPEX, Dr. Sanju Thomas Abraham added: “We’re passionate about opening doors for Tamil Nadu’s young nurses.

Through rigorous benchmarking and ongoing mentorship, we ensure that every graduate becomes a catalyst for positive change—strengthening patient care, inspiring peers, and contributing directly to Tamil Nadu’s growth. It’s all part of our vision: creating sustainable, aspirational livelihoods that empower each nurse and drive lasting progress for our state.”
