The online platform, under the NSDC, promises to bridge the demand-supply gap of region-specific skilled workers across sectors and match them with local industry needs
New Delhi: The government on Friday unveiled a single-window platform for skilled workforce, including those who have migrated to the rural areas due to covid-19. The online platform, under the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC), promises to bridge the demand-supply gap of region-specific skilled workers across sectors and match them with local industry needs.
It will provide employers a platform to assess the availability of skilled workforce and formulate their hiring plans. Called, Aatmanirbhar Skilled Employee Employer Mapping (ASEEM), initiative, the platform will be a depository of all “data, trends and analytics which describe the workforce market and map demand of skilled workforce to supply”, the NSDC said.
“The initiative aims to accelerate India’s journey towards recovery by mapping skilled workforce and connecting them with relevant livelihood opportunities in their local communities especially in the post COVID era,” Mahendra Nath Pandey, minister for skill development and entrepreneurship, said.
