Telangana DGP Anurag Sharma Launches “Employment Van”:- To connect skills with opportunities for the unemployed youth, Telangana Director General of Police Anurag Sharma launched job connect (employment van) in Hyderabad.
The Job Connect is a unique process that connects and matches the skill set of unemployed youth to employment opportunities in the Micro, small and medium enterprises in private sector on a daily basis round the year. The Job Connect venture is a joint partnership of Hyderabad City Police and TMI, a leading employment and skill development organization.
Job Connect uses a first of its kind state of art employment-vehicle equipped with state-of-the-art technology necessary to build a database of information of job seekers and skill set requirements of employers that would help connect these talented youth of Hyderabad and Telangana to job opportunities.
Speaking on the occasion, the DGP said, “ Many job seekers from low income and socially backward families do not have computers at home and are not savvy in English and hence are unable to use job boards and other job search options effectively. Job Connect is an employer connect van which takes the job information to where job seekers are - at bus stands, railway stations, colleges and encourages them to register for free and access the latest jobs available locally and regionally”.
“Job seekers can download a mobile android App called HAWKEYE which facilitates the job registration through the mobile phones. A local Hotspot is also being created around the van by installation of data wifi routers in the van. The jobs matching to the individuals criteria will be visible through the mobile App in their mobile. This will really bring the jobs to the unemployed youth instead of the youth going all over the city in search of the jobs. Local unemployed youth will get connected to jobs and will get interview passes without paying any money”, the DGP said.
On the other hand, the youth can also discuss about job information such as qualification required, salary offered by talking to job counselors present in the van.
The advantage, they said, was the aggregation of all jobs locally available in real time to the unemployed youth. Every day, a team of executives from TMI in the van would approach employers nearby and register their vacancies with the offer of a free shortlist.
The effort was also expected to prevent jobless youth from turning to crime, and also to curb the activities of fraudsters who fleece job aspirants with fake job offers and similar frauds.
The Job Connect Van was launched in the presence of TMI Group Chairman T Muralidharan, Hyderabad City Police Commissioner M Mahender Reddy and other police officers.
