With the objective of providing a second career to ex-servicemen, the Directorate General Resettlement (DGR), Ministry of Defence on Tuesday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with IBM to engage ex-servicemen and to facilitate their seamless integration into the civilian workforce.
Through this MoU, the DGR will collaborate with IBM to tap into the rich talent pool of ex-servicemen for relevant job opportunities that may continue to arise at the company and its affiliates.
As part of this association, IBM aims to bridge the gap between military service and civilian employment, by providing veterans with exciting opportunities for professional growth and personal development.
The DGR and IBM will collaborate, on a continuous basis, to identify ex-servicemen with skill set and aptitude suitable for various open positions within the company. After assessment and short listing of candidates, IBM will leverage its resources and expertise to facilitate the recruitment, training, and up skilling of ex-servicemen for those roles.
Major General Sharad Kapur, Director General (Resettlement) said, “Our partnership with IBM India would bring in more visibility for our Ex-servicemen to the industry and corporates and help in achieving the objectives of providing skilled manpower and giving a dignified second career to our Ex-servicemen.”
