I t is said that there are two criticaldecisions we take in our lives. One is

the choice of a life partner, and the sec-ond, the choice of a career or profes-sion. These two important choicesdetermine whether we will be happyand successful in life, or not. And whilewe give ample time, attention andexpenditure to the first, very often littlethought is given to choosing a career.

And yet - career counseling, i.ehelping others make decisions abouttheir working lives, is possibly the old-est in the world and has now, in recentyears, gained importance and popular-ity. Choosing a career is a complexprocess, more so as there are thou-sands of jobs, and new ones being cre-ated all the time, many more aspirantsfor every study course, and hundredsof applicants for every profession andpost. Yet there are over 30 million edu-cated candidates who remain unem-ployed, a majority of them unemploy-able.

This is so because often a careerdecision is made on the basis of unre-alistic professional aspirations, inade-quate knowledge, parental and societalpressures and emotional factors thatshould rightly be irrelevant to this deci-sion. Our society is specifically one thatfinds no child worthy unless he canbecome a doctor, an engineer, busi-ness manager or a chartered account-

ant, ignoring the fact that each individ-ual is unique in abilities, values, inter-ests and personality styles, and couldbe eminently successful in anyone ofthousands of work opportunities thatexist today.

The role of the Career counselor is,therefore, to assist people with objec-tive and professional guidance that canenable them explore, pursue and attaintheir career goals.

Professional career counselling hasbeen introduced into most schoolstoday as it helps improve the perform-ance of students to a great extent,enabling them to grow physically, men-tally and emotionally with the knowl-edge, motivation and freedom to makeinformed career choices.

Career counselling basically con-sists of four elements: i) helping individuals to gain greater

self-awareness in areas such asinterests, values, abilities, and per-sonality style,

ii) linking individuals to job opportuni-ties, information and resources sothat they can become more knowl-edgeable about jobs and studypaths,

iii) engaging students in the decision-making process in order that theycan choose a career path that iswell suited to their own interests,values, abilities and personalitystyle

iv) assisting individuals with job

SEARCHING JOBS ONLINE WITH NATIONAL CAREER SERVICE PORTALDeepak Razdan

T he 46th session of the IndianLabour Conference (ILC) on 20th

July, 2015 turned historic when thePrime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi,launched the National Career Service(NCS) Portal to begin the process ofintroducing information technology inthe delivery of services at the country’s978 employment exchanges. The pre-vious system under the NationalEmployment Service required job seek-ers to physically visit the EmploymentExchanges for registration, verify theirrecords and then wait for opportunitiesto come. The employers too had to visitEmployment Exchanges for posting jobvacancies and obtaining lists of eligiblecandidates with little flexibility. Thusboth job-seekers and employers wereunsatisfied. Bringing people and oppor-tunities together, the NCS portal nowprovides a nation-wide online platformfor job-seekers and employers for job-matching in a dynamic, efficient andresponsive manner.

If one looks at the unemploymentdata, and the number of educated job-seekers, the NCS Portal launch is mosttimely. In December, 2013-end, therewere 468 lakh job-seekers registeredwith the employment exchanges, over302 lakh of whom were men and over165 lakh women. The total number ofplacements through the exchanges

during 2013 was just 3.49 lakh – 2.90lakh men and 0.59 lakh women. Nearly60 lakh job-seekers registered them-selves with the exchanges during 2013.With the overall unemployment rate inthe country staying over two per centas per the latest Economic Survey, thejob-seekers’ data strongly highlightedthe necessity of utilizing IT tools tospeed up the job-placements.

The NCS, which is transforming theNational Employment Service into anIT-based service platform, makes avail-able a rich repository of career contenton over 3000 occupations across 53sectors. The services under NCS areavailable online and can be accessed

directly, through career centres,Common Service Centres, mobiledevices, cyber cafes. The NCS Portalwill also facilitate organisation of jobfairs where both employers and jobseekers can interact. A dedicatedhelpdesk (multi-lingual) is also avail-able from Tuesday to Sunday on 1800-425-1514 for assisting users. TheGovernment has also approved theestablishment of 37 Model CareerCentres which will be functional thisyear. The NCS is also establishing anetwork of Career Counsellors to makethe career centres become the hub ofCareer Counselling in their area.

The National Career Service (NCS)

also offers a variety of other serviceslike information on skill developmentcourses, apprenticeship, internship,career counselling, etc. All registrationson the NCS Portal are Aadhaar based,with national portability. Data for over 2crore jobseekers registered with stateemployment exchanges is on the NCSportal. They can activate their accountsusing Aadhaar. Over 9 lakh establish-ments having Labour IdentificationNumber (LIN) are on the NCS portaland they can post their vacancies. All978 employment exchanges have beengiven user IDs and passwords for acti-vating their accounts. States have beenrequested to publicize usage of theNCS portal for posting vacancies andjob matching.

Several states (Andhra Pradesh,Gujarat, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh,Manipur, Telangana) having employ-ment exchange data in a databasehave integrated with the NCS portal.Remaining states having manual sys-tems can directly log on for new regis-trations. Information on courses of over11,000 Industrial Training Institutes(ITIs) and 12,000 Vocational TrainingProviders (VTPs) is available on thePortal.
