NCS project, India’s largest employment platform, aims at bringing job-seekers, employers, counsellors, trainers, and placement organisations together by offering convergence of information that enlightens minds and empowers people. In the first phase, the Union Ministry of labour and Employment has sanctioned more than 50 proposals for establishing Model Career Centre and Odisha’s first career centre has already been established and functional at Vocational Rehabilitation Centre for Handicapped (VRCH), Gandamunda, Bhubaneswar.
The portal links all through Aadhaar-based authentication and the registration is online and free of charge. Apart from Aadhar card number, one can register as job seeker by using PAN card, driving licence, Passport, NREGA job card and voter’s ID card.
Job seekers can now make an informed decision by going through 3000+ career options available from 53 key industry sectors on NCS platform.
They also have access to industry trends in a user-friendly way. In case people are unable to register online, they can register themselves by visiting the model career centre located at VRCH,
Bhubaneswar and get notifications on all kinds of jobs, career counselling, job fairs, and various other employment-related services.
The Government is transforming Employment Exchanges and University Employment Information Guidance Bureaus into career centres. Employers can now locate the talent most appropriate for their organisations by looking through a countrywide database of workforce from blue-collar workers to white-collar workers. In order to supplement the efforts of existing centres, young professionals have been recruited by the Union Ministry of labour and Employment and deployed to the model career centres who are well-versed with NCS’s agenda. A multilingual call centre (Toll Free Helpline: 1800-425-1514 from Tuesday to Sunday 8 am to 8 pm) is also catering to the needs of those who face difficulty in registration or have other queries.
