The Delhi Government will shortly organise a series of “employment fairs” in the Capital for providing employment to the youths in accordance with their skills and qualifications. The fairs will help the youths explore employment opportunities in the private sector.
Labour and Employment Minister Gopal Rai said in reply to a question raised by party MLA Alka Lamba in the Delhi Assembly on Monday that he had appointed a task force of employment officers which would collate information on the openings available with the private sector employers. These employment opportunities will be displayed in the fairs.
Besides, the Delhi Government’s Information Technology Department had approved a proposal to create a web portal with this information, said Mr. Rai. The Directorate of Employment has already offered the facility of online registration of unemployed youths and sponsoring of their names to meet the demand of prospective employers.
The Minister pointed out that the Delhi Government had helped in the placement of 9,666 youths in different sectors during the last two years. Of them, 8,661 were employed in 2010-11 and 1,005 in 2011-12.
Govt-appointed task force will collect information on job openings in the private sector and display the information at the employment fairs
