Kerala mission to provide 20 lakh jobs.

July 14, 2022

The second phase of the Kerala Knowledge Economy Mission’s project to provide jobs to 20 lakhs educated unemployed is under way in Kerala.
In this phase, jobseekers whose basic details have been collected by the Kudumbashree will be registered on a digital platform.
To identify jobseekers at the local body level, the Kudumbashree had conducted a promotion campaign ‘My job, my pride’ and a job survey in May.
In the second phase, the Kudumbashree will initially register those in the 21-¬40 age group who have undergraduate, postgraduate, diploma, and ITI qualifications from among the 53,42,094 job¬seekers it had identified during the survey.
A mobile app designed by Digital University Kerala and made available by the Knowledge Economy Mission will be used for the profiling.
The district ¬level training of master trainers would be completed by July 20.
The training will focus on what the ‘My job, my pride’ campaign is all about, how to approach job-seekers and introduce them to the Knowledge Economy Mission activities, how to register the job-seekers on the Digital Workforce Management System (a platform that brings together job-seekers, employers, and skill training agencies), and how they can get employment.
The 304 master trainers, in turn, will conduct the block¬level training for enumerators who will do the ward ¬level profiling.
In hard to access areas such as Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe colonies, the enumerators would visit job¬seekers at their doorstep and complete the profiling.
