TeamLease partners K’taka Govt for job exchange

The nodal partner agencies on the government side for this initiative are the Department of Employment & Training and Karnataka Vocational Training & Skills Development Corporation (KVTSDC).

Backed by TeamLease’s experience and management,KEC is aimed at transforming the capabilities and focus of traditional employment exchanges in Karnataka,while expanding the target public groups serviced. It is expected to train and place over 2000 candidates in the initial 12 months,with the capability to be expanded over time.

For the first time,KEC will ensure sound focus on the employability aspect as well,along with employment. With the recent acquisition of the Indian Institute of Job Training (IIJT),India’s fastest growing vocational training companies,by TeamLease,KEC will ensure structured entry and exit gate assessments for the candidates,with relevant vocational training programs.

While the training will help bridge skills gaps and make the candidates job ready,the accompanying certification will ensure their credibility in the job market. With strong enablement through information technology,KEC will leverage the industry connects of TeamLease to ensure successful access to available jobs across the country for the youth of Karnataka spanning over 1200 companies.

S R Umashankar,Commissioner Employment & Training and Managing Director,KVTSDC,said,“Given the scale of this issue and opportunities in the market,cooperation with and involvement of the private sector is a key requirement. With its proven experience and expertise,we hope the partnership with TeamLease will help successfully improve the employability and employment potential of the youth of Karnataka.”
