Rojgar Bazaar 2.0 portal

This portal will bring all the services related to skill training, career guidance and job matching on this first-of-its kind digital platform. Government has also planned to institutionalise physical centres in order to increase access to this portal because a large number of unorganised workers cannot access digital platform. It will also provide AI-based employer verification for matching jobs. It will also provide other critical services like skilling, career guidance, skill credentialing as well as automated analytics services. All these services will help in enhancing the ability of job seekers to gain meaningful livelihoods.
