9 Private Job Portals And NCS Join Forces: A Win-Win for Students

The government in its push to accelerate jobs for students has inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with leading private job portals, employers, companies and skill providers. This empowering initiative was undertaken by the Ministry of Labour and Employment with the idea of integrating with the National Career Service (NCS) portal.

The National Career Service (NCS) is a job portal that offers career guidance and job opportunities to job seekers. It serves as an employment exchange, providing regular job notifications for government jobs, and ensuring individuals stay updated on the latest employment news.

What Govt’s MoU With Private Job Portals Means For Students

As per the MoU, now leading private job portals in partnership with the Ministry of Labour and Employment will open up their vacancies on the NCS portal. This will greatly enhance students and jobseekers who have registered on the NCS portal to smoothly search and apply for the relevant jobs available.

30 lakh eShram registered workers registered on the NCS would also benefit from this partnership. eShram is the first-ever national database of unorganized workers including migrant workers, construction workers, gig and platform workers, etc.

Private Job Portals & Skill Providers That Signed MoU

The following leading private job portals, employers, companies, and skill providers took part in signing the MoU with the Ministry of Labour and Employment:

TCS iON
KARPAGA Assessment APP MATRIX Services Private Limited (HireMee)
TeamLease HRtech
Monster.com India Pvt Ltd (foundit)
QUESS CORP Limited
Delivery Track (VSS Tech)
QUIKR INDIA Private Limited
Firstjob.co.in

These companies will update their job openings in the NCS portal thereby enhancing the employment avenues for the NCS registered students and jobseekers.

TCS iON & HireMee To Provide Free-of-Cost Employability Training

The Ministry of Labour and Employment has signed a specific MoU with TCS iON that will cater free-of-cost online soft skill employability training to students and job seekers registered on the NCS Portal. The training will be both in English as well as Hindi language so there has to be an impartial treatment when it comes to the language barrier.

The MoU with TCS iON on employability training was found to be important as it enhances the employability skills of job seekers. Also, in the long run, training such as this will help to upgrade the quality of the workforce for a company.

Also, a separate MoU was signed between the Ministry of Labour and Employment and KARPAGA Assessment APP MATRIX Services Private Limited (HireMee). This MoU was signed with the said company with the idea to provide a free-of-cost facility to students and jobseekers for self-assessing their suitability for a job through an aptitude test.

For employers, this will provide a window to view the scores of aptitude tests taken by students and jobseekers and proceed to carry out the first level of scrutiny which saves time during the shortlisting of suitable candidates.

NCS To Keep Upgrading While Rolling Jobs To Students

The Ministry of Labour and Employment looks forward to opinions and deliberations on aspects related to improving and strengthening the partnership with the NCS portal.

During the signing of the MoU, participants put forth suggestions with regard to challenges and issues faced by employers during the employment process. Further, participants gave their suggestions on the proposed upgrade of the NCS portal in partnership with leading private job portals.
