SDG 8: Decent Work & Economic Growth | SDG 4: Quality Education
Institution: Ministry of Labour & Employment | Ministry of Youth Affairs & Sports
Citing a 2% national unemployment rate, the lowest among G20 nations, the Ministry of Labour & Employment, has signed MoUs with Mentor Together and Quikr to enhance the National Career Service (NCS) Portal. These partnerships will extend expert mentorship (via Mentor Together) and connect jobseekers to over 1,200 daily job listings across 1,200+ cities (via Quikr), especially benefiting first-time entrants and underserved youth. The platform has already mobilized over 7.22 crore vacancies since inception.
Relevant question for policy stakeholders:
