Quess Corp, the Indian staffing firm, today announced that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) to enhance the employability of Indian youth.

NSDC is the skill development organisation under the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE). The MoU aims to enhance the employability of Indian youth by leveraging Quess' and NSDC's vast network of training providers and job seekers.

Under the MoU, Qjobs, a blue-collar platform of Billion Careers Private Limited (BCPL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Quess Corp Limited, will partner with JobsX of NSDC.

Quess will integrate Qjobs with NSDC's JobX platform to facilitate the daily listing of active jobs, providing a broader range of employment opportunities for NSDC's registered candidates. Quess will also offer employability enhancement programs, including career counselling, employability enhancement courses, and employability tests, to candidates redirected from the NSDC JobX platform. These programs will assist candidates in refining their skills and developing the competencies required to secure employment in their chosen field.

Furthermore, Quess will also closely collaborate with NSDC in conducting industry studies and surveys. These studies will help better comprehend the skill development and employment trends, thereby providing valuable insights to employers and policymakers. It will also enable them to align skill development programs with the dynamic industry needs, thus ensuring a better employment rate.

Lohit Bhatia, President of Workforce Management, Quess Corp, said, "This partnership with NSDC is a testament to our commitment to driving meaningful change in the employment landscape. Through this MoU, we aim to leverage our technology, network, and expertise to bridge the gap between the demand and supply of skilled workforce in the country. This heralds the start of a collaboration that will not only empower the job seekers and enrich their opportunities but will also add to the dynamism of the Indian job market through the various initiatives envisaged in this agreement with NSDC."
