In a landmark move to enhance employment prospects for young job seekers, the Ministry of Labour & Employment (MoLE) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with APNA, one of India’s leading job recruitment platforms. This collaboration will add over 1 million job opportunities annually to the National Career Service (NCS) Portal, bolstering domestic employment prospects. 

The NCS Portal serves as a crucial link between job seekers and employers, boasting over 4 million registered employers and facilitating 440 million vacancies since its inception. At any given time, approximately 1 million vacancies are available, ensuring a steady stream of opportunities. 

Key Benefits of the MoU: 

• Expanded Job Access: NCS users will gain wider employment opportunities across metropolitan and non-metropolitan cities. 
• Seamless Integration: APNA will publish job listings on the NCS Portal, streamlining employer-candidate connections across formal and informal sectors. 
• Inclusive Hiring: The initiative will promote equal opportunities for women and persons with disabilities, fostering a fair and diverse recruitment landscape. 
• Diverse Talent Pool: APNA will leverage NCS’s extensive candidate database, while MoLE will ensure smooth integration through user-friendly online and offline interfaces. 
• Strengthening the Job Market: The partnership aligns with NCS’s mission to cultivate a dynamic and inclusive job ecosystem, supporting job seekers from all backgrounds. 

This strategic collaboration marks a significant step towards bridging the gap between talent and employment, driving economic growth and workforce development in India.
