76,425 enrolled with Digital Employment Exchange of Telangana this year; 6,657 jobseekers shortlisted

DEET Telangana, the digital employment exchange of the State government, is keen on engaging with more job seekers, particularly from rural areas, companies across industries and skill training institutions.

A key component of the government’s broader effort to make youth industry-ready and facilitate jobs, DEET Telangana this year had more than 76,000 jobseekers enrolling on it. The initiative is significant in the context of rising aspirations of thousands of youth, with different qualifications, to secure a job in private sector amid the limitation on the number of opportunities available in the public sector and the time involved due to the process before getting employment.

In contrast, the selection process in private sector is faster, especially amid firms setting up or expanding operations.

Nearly 10,000 vacancies

 “In the last few months, DEET attracted 76,425 new enrolments from across Telangana, with 9,952 active vacancies. A total of 6,657 jobseekers have been shortlisted for various job postings. 62 candidates have already been hired by companies”, DEET said. It serves as a one-stop solution for thousands of jobseekers and private companies across IT, manufacturing, services and finance sectors. 

After enrolling on  deet.telangana.gov.in, students, graduates and the unemployed can explore job opportunities from 1,007 companies, the digital employment exchange said.

On one hand, DEET is actively engaging with all colleges across the State to achieve 100% student enrolment and clock 3 Lakh registrations by December and on the other engage with institutes imparting job oriented skills.

DEET will soon sign MoUs with atleast 10 premium skilling institutions for strategic cooperation towards large-scale job offers in rural Telangana. Also, DEET plans to engage with 10,000 rural locations for a wider reach out, it said.

Apart from forging collaborations with government led skilling and training institutions such as the Young India Skills University and Telangana Academy for Skill and Knowledge (TASK), DEET is also partnering with non-governmental skilling institutes to reach out to a wider range of jobseekers, the employment exchange said.
