Odisha Skill Development Authority (OSDA) is implementing PMKVY (Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana), funded by NSDC (National Skill Development Program), Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, Govt of India and state sponsored short term training program besides helping general job seekers to get gainful employment. However, it is facing challenges in onboarding new employers/industries and thereby unable to ensure quality and desired placements.
Through this collaboration HCL TechBee will skill students post Class 12 and recruit them for entry level jobs through HCLTech. OSDA will provide space for employment exchange in seven Model Career Centres located in District Employment Exchanges in Cuttack, Dhenkanal, Sambalpur, Rourkela, Berhampur, Keonjhar for counseling and assessment of candidates, provide data of eligible students aspiring for jobs to HCLTech and create awareness amongst youth for the TechBee program.
