NEW DELHI, Apr 13: Ministry of Labour & Employment on Monday signed initial pacts with Porter and Gigin Technologies to expand employment opportunities and strengthen digital job matching through National Career Service (NCS) portal.
Porter is expected to generate large-scale logistics and driving opportunities and targets creation of over 30 lakh opportunities by 2030, a labour ministry statement said.
Gigin Technologies is also expected to enable creation of 2–3 lakh verified job opportunities annually with over 1.5 lakh employer engagements via NCS, it also stated.
The MoUs were signed in the presence of Union Minister for Labour & Employment Mansukh Mandaviya.
“The NCS platform has evolved as an effective one-stop solution for youth seeking job opportunities that match their skill sets. Over 7 lakh vacancies are currently active on the portal, and nearly 59 lakh establishments have registered on NCS, opening up a vast number of avenues for young jobseekers,” Mandaviya said.
The minister said these partnerships would prove mutually beneficial for all stakeholders, and would strengthen the NCS portal further.
Mandaviya highlighted the NCS’ integration with the e-Migrate, SIDH and My Bharat platforms, as well as with the portals of various states, making it truly expansive and transformative in scale and reach.
Underscoring the need to address the issue of skill gap, he urged Gigin and Porter, along with NCS, to devise mechanisms to provide training in soft skills to registered jobseekers.
“Short duration training courses, designed as per the demands of jobseekers as well as the requirements of the industry, will go a long way in bridging the skill gap and enhancing the employability of our youth,” he suggested.
