New Delhi: Andhra Pradesh government is set to launch a LinkedIn-like portal to connect blue-collared job seekers with corporates, marking a significant step towards delivering its election promise of generating two million jobs in five years.
The first-of-its-kind portal Naipunyam, which literally translates to skill in Telugu, is likely to be launched on September 1.
This portal will list out district-wise job seekers who are available for work, their education, previous experience, skill set and proficiency levels. The portal will also list companies looking for workers, type of jobs available and the locations offered.
This digital initiative will allow job seekers to conveniently register, renew and update their profiles, streamlining the job search process. This data will be available for companies to tap into.
"We are in the process of launching a portal called Naipunyam. We are aggregating the demand of the industry and at the same time gauging the supply pattern," Andhra Pradesh human resources development and real-time governance minister Nara Lokesh told ET. The portal follows a skill census conducted as a pilot project in Mangalagiri, the assembly constituency represented by Lokesh.
