India’s first public-private employment exchange

TeamLease Services, India’s largest staffing Solutions Company has joined hands with the Government of Karnataka to create the Karnataka Employment Center (KEC), India’s first employment exchange based on a public-private partnership.

The KEC will deliver the full range of services covering Registration, Assessment, Counselling, Training, Certification and Placement to ensure successful access to the job market for the youth of Karnataka. The nodal partner agencies on the government side for this initiative are the Department of Employment & Training and Karnataka Vocational Training & Skills Development Corporation (KVTSDC).

Backed by TeamLease’s experience and management, KEC is aimed at transforming the capabilities and focus of traditional employment exchanges in Karnataka, while expanding the target public groups serviced. It is expected to train and place over 2000 candidates in the initial 12 months, with the capability to be expanded over time.

For the first time, KEC will ensure sound focus on the employability aspect as well, along with employment.
