NATIONAL CAREER SERVICE

National Career Service is one of the mission mode projects under the umbrella of E-Governance Plan. It works towards bridging the gap between job-seekers and employers, candidates seeking training and career guidance and agencies providing training and career counselling by transforming the National Employment Service. It brings together all stakeholders like job seekers, employers, counsellors, trainers and private placement agencies to facilitate convergence of information and create synergies through these associations.

NCS provides a host of career-related services such as dynamic job matching, career counselling, job notifications, vocational guidance, information on skill development courses, internships and alike.

A National ICT based portal (www.ncs.gov.in) has been operationalized to bring youth closer to right opportunities at the right time in their careers. On 20' July 2015, Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, dedicated the National Career Service to the nation. NCS also repositions the existing 978 employment exchanges into Career Centers as the hub of career related services.

The focus areas for the National Career Service platform are listed below:

• Enhancing career and employment opportunities
• Counselling and guidance for career development
• Focusing on decent employment
• Enhancing female labour force participation
• Encouraging entrepreneurial endeavours
