National Career Service Project

The Government is implementing the National Career Service Project for linking employment exchanges and other institutions using technology to provide a variety of employment related services like job postings, career counselling, vocational guidance, skill courses, apprenticeship, etc. These service are available online on the National Career Service Portal (www.ncs.gov.in) supported by Call Centre/Helpdesk (No. 1800-425-1514). The portal is accessible to both employers as well as job seekers. Employers can register and post their vacancies and shortlist the candidates whilst job seekers can register online for seeking employment related assistance. NCS portal has a rich career content repository with information on career options available in more than 52 industry sectors and 3700 occupations. Manual Scavenging is not a career option on the portal. The NCS service can be availed directly through the Employment Exchanges/ Career Centres and Common Service Centres.

This was stated by the Minister of State in the Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions and Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office Dr. Jitendra Singh in a written reply to a question by Shri A.Arunmozhithevan in the Lok Sabha today.
