Employment assumes centrality in contemporary public policy discourse across the globe. This is
particularly significant in the context of large and emerging economies like India experiencing demographic
transition on the one hand and structural transformation on the other. It is becoming increasingly
important to generate quality employment to meet the growing aspirations of youth in the country. There is
a growing need to formulate new and innovative strategies to enhance the professional capacities of different
stakeholders concerned with various facets of quality employment generation. One core strategy in this
regard is to develop customised training programmes for target groups like employment officers, personnel
of public employment services, professionals extending counselling services to the job seekers,
representatives of employers’ associations and trade unions, so that they contribute more effectively in job
creation and job search assistance.

It is in this context that the professional activities of the National Institute of Career Service (NICS)
(erstwhile Central Institute for Research and Training in Employment Service), Ministry of Labour and
Employment, Government of India assumes paramount importance. NICS is the only national level
government institution committed to impart training to the various stakeholders associated with different
dimensions of employment and career services.

NICS training Calendar 2022-23 has been designed to address the emerging training requirements
of the different stake holders and we sincerely hope that these training intervention will scale up the
professional competency of the participant and their institution to respond to the need of world of work.

Employment is the crucial link between growth and reduction in poverty. Poverty alleviation,
employment, equitable income distribution across social classes and regions remain crucial goals of
economic policy in India. Investment in human capital, so that people can take advantage of the
opportunities offered by the market, becomes essential in such a framework.

The fresh perspective regarding employment and growth in India relates to shifting focus to a more
holistic goal with focus not only on creation of jobs, but the creation of more fulfilling and better-paying jobs
that are more productive and enhance the work quality such as safety, cleanliness, flexibility, income
security, skills, intellectual stimulation etc. These aspects of work are important objectives for an economy
that seeks to deliver inclusive growth and meet the aspirations and expectations of its workforce.

In line with this vision, the Ministry of Labour & Employment, Directorate General of Employment,
has implemented National Career Service (NCS) project as a modernized version of the National
Employment Service which shall act as a common centralized platform to provide a better range of services
including job placement, vacancy notification, information on formal training programmers, on the job
training etc.

 National Career Service

National Career Service (NCS) is one of the mission mode projects under the umbrella of
E-Governance Plan. It works towards bridging the gap between job-seekers and job providers,
candidates seeking training and career guidance and agencies providing training and career
counselling by transforming the National Employment Service. It brings together all stakeholders
like job seekers, employers, counsellors, trainers and private placement agencies to facilitate
convergence of information and create synergies through these associations.

National Career Service is a ground-breaking

initiative to consolidate and provide a platform
for the diverse workforce, employers, placement
agencies, career counsellors, NGOs etc. to
interact with each other in order to meet their
requirement from the employment market. NCS
focusses on easily accessible skill development
tools and matching to prospective candidates via
the centralised portal (NCS Portal) supported by
978 Employment Exchanges and University
Employment Information and Guidance Bureaus in the country. In addition, 407 Model Career
Centres will serve as the primary channel for NCS and the Call Centres for facilitating registration
and profile updation of the candidates.

NCS provides a host of career-related services such as dynamic job matching, career
counselling, job notifications, vocational guidance, information on skill development courses,
internships and alike.

A National ICT based portal

(www.ncs.gov.in) has been
operationalized to bring youth closer to
right opportunities at the right time in
their careers. On 20' July 2015, Hon’ble
Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi,
dedicated the National Career Service to
the nation. NCS also repositions the
existing 978 employment exchanges into
Career Canters as the hub of career
related services.

Page | 25

• Enhancing career and employment opportunities
• Counselling and guidance for career development
• Focusing on decent employment

 Model Career Centre

Ministry of Labour and

Employment, Government of India
has facilitated establishment of
Model Career Centres in
collaboration with the
States/institutions as per the
guidelines issued by Director
General of Employment & Training.
Model Career Centre (MCC) is a hub
of career-related services with right MCC NICS
infrastructure and linkages
available to perform Counselling,
registration on NCSP, conduct Job fairs and Assessment. This scheme is focussed on establishing
Career Centres in a phased approach ensuring that standardized set of services are offered across
the board. Model Career Centres are responsible for all activities related to the NCS project like
Industry Interaction, Candidate Engagement, Job and Skill Mapping and IEC activities.

Objective:
Model Career Centres will connect local youth and other job-seekers with all possible job
opportunities in a transparent and effective manner through the use of technology as well as
through counselling and training. While the state-of-the-art technology driven National Career
Service Portal will, in a sustained manner, provide information about available job opportunities
and resources for Career Centres to function effectively, the Model Career Centres would be the
pivotal outreach and counselling interface of the National Career Service for teeming millions of
aspiring youth from rural, semi urban areas as well as from disadvantaged sections of the society.

Page | 28
Activities and Coverage

• Industry Interaction: Career Centres will undertake market sizing exercise to estimate the
number of employment opportunities in their area, associated skill requirements, skill
training capacity availability, etc. This will require close and constant interface with local
industry and employers.

• Candidate Engagement: On the supply side, Career Centres will provide counselling services
to the job seekers and make them aware of opportunities based on their skills, area of
interest and requirement. Career Centres will thus provide a range of employment related
services like career counselling, job matching, employment market analytics and other value
added services.

• Job and Skill Mapping: Career Centre will undertake the job skill mapping for identification
of right fit job for candidate. The candidates will be assessed through skill assessment and
psychometric tests and guided to the right opportunity whether it is for employment, skill
training, apprenticeship training, on-the-job-training, finishing course (gap training) etc.

• IEC activities: Career Centre through its multi-pronged IEC strategy increases awareness
amongst the various stakeholders like skill training institutes, assessment bodies, schools
and college administration, local community leaders, government departments and public
in general about the services available.

• Last Mile Employability courses: A scheme is being evolved for offering Last Mile
Employability courses for enhancing the employability of youth.

 Young Professional Scheme

The Model Career Centres would be the role model for replication of career related
services. For supporting the professional assistance requirement, the Ministry launched a
Scheme for Young Professionals with an aim to utilize the knowledge, energy and fresh way of
thinking of these young social leaders to help better transform the emerging landscape of
Employment Services and Career counselling in India. Young Professional are being deputed to
these Model Career Centres to facilitate the integration and institutionalization of new
processes.

Ministry of Labour & Employment proposes to empanel competent young professionals

through a centralized scheme for a period of 5 years across these MCC. These professionals will
prepare regular reports on success parameters, to be shared with all stakeholders and will
identify best practices and pain areas/bottlenecks in MCC implementation. They will also
coordinate outreach activities to schools/colleges and conduct job-fairs including interaction
with academia, local industry, manufacturing associations, training providers and other
stakeholders. In case a centre requires the services of a Counsellor, instead of a Young
Professional for better operationalization of the MCC, the same may be requested for in the
proposal.

Roles and Responsibilities

• Facilitating smooth and efficient working of Model Career Centres.
• Promotion of National Career Services portal for multiple stakeholders.
• Facilitating the transition of employment exchanges into career centres by actively engaging in
capacity building, branding and training on National Career Services project.
• Supporting State Governments and institutions in replicating this model in other centres
• Preparing regular reports on performance indicators, to be shared with DGE.
• Identifying best practices and pain areas/bottlenecks in implementing DGE schemes and in the
collaboration with National Career Services project.
• Coordinating outreach activities in schools/colleges and conducting job-fairs including interaction
with academia, local industry, manufacturing associations, training providers, counsellors and
others.
• Plan, organize, develop and implement career events and publications to publicize Career Centre
services, resources and speaker programs. Maintain lists and bulletins concerning jobs and
mapping the required skills with the resource pool; provide information concerning the industry
job trends across the country and assistance in the enhancement of the skills in a candidate.
• Conducting research and market analysis to create intelligence for better performance of MCC.
• Regular interaction with DGE for Model Career Centre monitoring.
• Prepare a wide variety of manual and electronic reports and materials (e.g. program mandated,
brochures, mailers, etc.) for the purpose of communicating with staff, students and other
stakeholders, and complying with program requirements.
• Working under supervision of MCC nodal officer using standardized practices and/or methods;
directing other persons within a small work unit and operating within a defined budget.
• Perform other related duties as assigned for the purpose of ensuring the efficient and effective
functioning of the work unit at the Model Career Centres.

 Job Fairs

Organizing a Job Fair helps bridge gap between employer and jobseeker by providing a
common platform for information sharing, giving job seekers the opportunity to learn more
about potential employers and he opportunities available, and on the other hand, gives
employers access to a huge pool of qualified manpower to tap into, all under one roof. Also,
these job fairs help bridge geographical boundaries by bringing together big employers from
across the country and provide diverse employment opportunities to the jobseeker.

Job
Fair

The Job fairs being conducted by the MCCs are usually one-day events that attempt to
connect several employers with prospective employees (fresher/experienced) on a common
platform. The number of participating employers could range anywhere form 5-100 and 100-10k
job seekers depending on how large the event is.

Conducting such Job Fairs gives job seekers opportunities for Instant Employment and on
the other hand time, money, and efforts spent on the complete recruitment and selection
process is significantly reduced for employers by participating in such fairs. They get to have a
one-on one meeting with prospective job applicants and conduct on-the-spot interviews. If the
interview goes well, a candidate may be shortlisted or even provided with a final offer letter.

Page | 31
Also, since majority of workforce is engaged in the unorganized sector, such job fairs provide a
platform to a lot of people to seek employment in this sector in a structured way.

Participating in such Job Fairs is especially useful for the youth in determining their future
career choice. Not only do they get the opportunity to interact with HR personnel of several
organizations but also an idea about the skill set and qualifications required for a job opening of
their choice. Also, they can get feedback on their resume and interview performance.
Alternatively, the Employers may also add the candidate details in their data pool for any future
job openings.

Performance:

Model Career Centres located in different parts of the country have been organising Job Fair
regularly. Information in respect of Job Fairs conducted by various MCCs is detailed below.

 Interlinking of Employment Exchanges

While steps have been taken to increase the reach of employment service directly
through the portal, CSCs, etc., more needs to be done to guide youth and facilitate their
interaction with prospective employers through various means like job fair, w hich have proved
to be very successful and is a regular feature in large states. In this context, a scheme has been
evolved and finalised to upgrade the infrastructure across all Employment Exchanges with partial
funding and facilitate job fairs through the NCS Platform.

In the scheme, DGE, Ministry of Labour & Employment will provide funds for basic IT
infrastructure, minor re-furbishing of the 978+ employment exchanges and for organizing job
fairs at the district level on a quarterly basis. Several States already have good ICT based systems
for the employment services while other states require certain infrastructure to improve
accessibility of the NCS services at the employment exchanges.

The Scheme contours and funding areas are described below. States can seek funds
under the Scheme under the following broad components

a) One-time grant up to Rs. 3 lakh per employment exchange for IT infrastructure

enhancement: Some of the items that can be procured under this head include
desktops, printers, MFDs, Broadband connectivity and operating expenses for
consumables etc. (All Employment Exchanges have already been provided Login
IDs and passwords for using the NCS Portal.)

b) One-time grant up to Rs. 5 lakh per employment exchange for refurbishing the
office complex: Some of the items that can be procured or installed under this
head includes minor refurbishing including minor works (electrical, repairs,
painting etc.), sign boards, table, chairs in reception areas etc. This component
will not include major civil works or procurement of vehicles.

c) A grant of up to Rs. 2 lakh per job fair per quarter to be organized at the District
level: Some of the items that can be included in this component includes venue
arrangement, IEC, employer mobilization, stationery and other incidentals. In case
of mega job fairs across districts, the funds can be pooled. The NCS Portal provides
for the organisation of job fairs and this is to be leveraged under the Scheme.
