In a bid to provide employment for rural youth, the Directorate of Employment and Training officials on Friday conducted a road show for chairmen of panchayat unions and village panchayat presidents in Tirupur district on the mega employment mela planned by them in Coimbatore on December 21. Deputy Director of Employment A. Latha told reporters that the main objective of the interaction with the elected representatives of the civic bodies was to seek their help in bringing as much as unemployed youth from the respective jurisdictions to the job fair.
Over 5,000 posts
“The youth who have passed at least Class V can attend the mela,” she said.
The fair, to be held in association with Tamil Nadu Skill Development Mission and Coimbatore District Small Industries Association (CODISSIA) at CODISSIA trade fair complex, would be offering almost 5,000 posts of computer operators, marketing executives, welders, clerks, drivers and stores-in-charge, among others, in the 1,800 member units of CODISSIA. Ms. Latha clarified that the youth selected for jobs through the fair would not lose their seniority in the list prepared by employment exchanges for government jobs.
Certificates
“In fact, the experience certificate obtained from the jobs selected through this fair can be used at later stages when the candidate was called for interview in government departments,” she said.
