After holding a successful ‘Job Summit’ that enabled over 2,100 people get employment, the Delhi Government announced on Monday that it will soon hold another large-scale job summit along with private companies and other industry bodies, which will be open for all.
Announcing the initiative, labour Minister Gopal Rai said, “In the first summit we spoke to private companies and 38 of them participated and based on our data at employment exchange we conducted their interviews. We targeted to provide employment to 1,000 people but got positive response and 2,108 candidates were offered job… This has motivated us to hold a job summit at a bigger level. We will hold a meeting with leading companies and industry body likes ASSOCHAM, FICCI, CII on August 27 to partner in next job fair.”
Rai said that the Government will plan the next summit based on discussion with companies and industry bodies, and scope of employment opportunity.
“So far we restricted the candidate based on the data available with us at employment exchange but now it will be open for all. Anyone can apply and get job in the next job summit,” Rai said.
The Government will also partner with NGOs which assisted more than 300 disabled persons in getting job in the first summit, he added.
