The Ministry of Labour & Employment has teamed with Amazon to use the National Career Service (NCS) portal, expanding job searchers’ possibilities in a major step to boost employment access.
The two-year Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) includes plans to host job fairs at Model Career Centers (MCCs), facilitating face-to-face interactions between job seekers and Amazon’s recruitment teams. It also permits Amazon and its third-party staffing agencies to regularly post job openings on the NCS portal.
Union Minister of Labour and Employment Mansukh Mandaviya stated, “The NCS portal is evolving into a one-stop platform for accessing employment opportunities across sectors and industries. This portal is a game changer for young job seekers, offering them various employment-related services under one roof. Through our partnership with Amazon, we are expanding job accessibility for India’s youth, empowering them to discover the right roles and build a future filled with opportunities and growth.”
Emphasizing the initiative’s focus on inclusivity, Mr Mandaviya added, “We are upgrading the NCS portal to provide a more user-friendly interface, utilizing advanced technologies like artificial intelligence to enhance the experience for job seekers, employers, and stakeholders.”
Union Minister Sushri Karandlaje remarked, “The National Career Service portal acts as a dynamic bridge connecting India’s diverse talent pool with opportunities across sectors. Integrating with an ecosystem like Amazon will foster skill development, empower individuals, and promote economic growth and job creation. Integrating a centralized platform like NCS will reduce hiring costs and time while streamlining the hiring of verified professionals. This is a step forward for economic inclusion.”
Benefits To Job Seekers On The NCS Portal:
Job seekers will have access to a broader range of opportunities, particularly in logistics, technology, and customer service through Amazon, one of the world’s largest e-commerce companies. This MoU not only facilitates local hiring but also offers career advancement opportunities within a prestigious organization. Consequently, job seekers from various regions of India can connect with numerous employment roles, paving the way for brighter futures.
Benefits To Amazon:
Through this collaboration, Amazon aims to tap into a diverse talent pool via the NCS portal, which includes women and persons with disabilities. The Ministry will support Amazon by integrating databases to ensure seamless access to candidates through an efficient technology interface. Additionally, the Ministry will assist in conducting job fairs nationwide, facilitating structured interactions with potential employees to help Amazon meet its staffing needs while promoting a diverse and inclusive workforce.
