The Indian government is taking steps to enhance its National Career Service (NCS) portal, which connects employers with job seekers. With over 10.9 million vacancies registered in FY24, the portal has witnessed a significant increase in job postings.
The government plans to launch a second-generation version of the NCS portal, leveraging cutting-edge technologies like Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to improve job matching and skill enhancement. This upgrade aims to revolutionize the platform and provide a more efficient and effective experience for both employers and job seekers.
To further boost employability, the government intends to collaborate with industries and gather feedback on desired qualifications and skills. This information will be incorporated into the portal, enabling candidates to identify relevant skilling courses and enhance their knowledge accordingly.
The NCS portal offers a comprehensive suite of employment-related services, including career counseling, skilling courses, vocational guidance, and information on job fairs. It is integrated with state and Union Territory facilities to provide nationwide coverage and collaborates with private job portals to expand job opportunities for users.
