It will also provide training and support for traditional professions like welders, carpenters, cobblers, masons, blacksmiths, weavers etc. Convergence of various schemes to attain this objective is also proposed (sic),” Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said in his budget speech.
In consonance with the government’s idea of imparting employable skills to youth, the government has proposed to transform employment exchanges into a career centres.
“Comparing the size of the Indian economy, the performance of the employment exchanges will be transformed into career centres and in addition for providing information about job availability.
