The Kudumbashree district mission will organise a job fair for women here on Friday. The fair, spearheaded by the Kerala Knowledge Economy Mission, will help women who are educated and on the lookout for employment receive suitable job opportunities as part of the Thozhilrangathekku project.
The fair will be held at the LBS Institute of Technology, Poojappura, from 8 a.m. Prominent companies from within the State and outside will participate. Interviews will be held in-person and online.
Thozhilrangathekku is being implemented jointly by the Kerala Knowledge Economy Mission and the Kudumbashree to provide more job opportunities for women. As part of the first phase of the project, job offer letters will be handed over to 1,000 women by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on March 8, International Women’s Day. The district-level job fairs are a prelude to this.
The Kerala Knowledge Economy Mission aims at creating 30 lakh job opportunities in the knowledge sector. A survey conducted by it in association with the Kudumbashree has found that there are 53 lakh job-seekers in the State. Of them, 58% are women. It is against this backdrop that Thozhilrangathekku was launched at the State level. The job fair in the capital district exclusively for women is the first step in this direction.
Those interested in participating in the fair can register on the mission’s Digital Workforce Management System (DWMS) portal. For details, call 0471-2737883. Spot registration is also available.
As many as 25,000 women have registered on the DWMS portal for training as part of Thozhilrangathekku. Women from neighbouring districts too can participate in the job fair.
