These MoUs are only the first step in this journey and we look forward to more such strategic partnerships,''he said. Earlier, in his welcome address,the Principal Labour and Economic Advisor, P P Mitra said that the ( NCS) is enabling platform for job provider and jobseeker, is being leveraged to guide youth for making the right career choice and position India to meet the global demand for skilled workforce.” National Career Service initiative was launched in 2015 as an ICT based platform for providing employment services to public, at the URL www.ncs.gov.in. A multilingual toll free helpline 1800-425-1514 is also operational to help jobseekers. The Government has also launched Make in India, Skill India, Digital India, Start-up India etc. to boost the economy as well as generate large employment opportunities for youth. NCS aims to meet the aspirations of youth for jobs with the industry demand and has evolved a policy for entering into partnerships with leading organisations. These strategic interventions will enhance career and employment opportunities, offer counselling and guidance for career development, focus on decent employment, enhance female labour force participation, encourage entrepreneurial endeavors, focus on inclusive growth initiatives, facilitate transition of workforce from informal to formal sectors, engage with rural workforce for higher productivity, facilitate re-employment (second-life) opportunities for returning and retired workforce etc. UNI AR RSA 2125
