As part of its efforts to boost employment opportunities, Karnataka has
set up an AI-powered portal that will act as a comprehensive marketplace
for students, industries, academic institutions, and trainers to get
together and collaborate in several ways.
The Karnataka
Skill Development Corporation (KSDC), in association with the Karnataka
Digital Economy Mission (KDEM) on Thursday launched the Karnataka Skill
Connect Portal (KSCP), an integrated web platform connecting the entire
talent ecosystem in the state with various employment prospects and
skilling opportunities.
The portal was created in consultation
with industry stakeholders to directly address their concerns. Insights
from established companies and up-and-coming start-ups provided the
framework for the platform.
These entities will contribute to
KSCP's supply and demand and ultimately benefit from the portal.
LinkedIn, Cisco, and IBM were among the companies present at the launch.
Chief
Minister Basavaraj Bommai said: "Karnataka has grown to become one of
the world's biggest start-up and technological powerhouses. Efforts such
as the Karnataka Skill Connect Portal are critical to sustaining our
global stature and our hopes of attracting large companies and
specialised clusters."
The Karnataka Digital Economy Mission
provided KSDC advisory and programme management services to develop the
portal. The organisation will also support the platform's engagement by
facilitating industry collaborations.
B.V. Naidu, Chairman of
Karnataka Digital Economy Mission, said: "There are multiple features
for various requirements... besides finding relevant upskilling modules
and jobs, candidates can use the intuitive platform to upload their
profiles and automatically match with prospective employers, get
screened by industry-standard psychometric assessments, and join online
discussion forums with other candidates, among other options. The portal
is an attempt to improve access of job aspirants all over Karnataka to
available jobs and upskilling opportunities."
Apart from
supporting nearly 65,000 engineering students in obtaining internship
opportunities, the portal is expected to help one lakh candidates
undergoing skill assessments while reaching out to 20 million job
seekers in the state, officials said.
