Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu has launched the 'Takniki Rozgar Setu' portal of the Technical Education department in Shimla.

"The Takniki Rozgar Setu portal would serve as an effective link between aspiring youth and industry, ensuring better access to employment opportunities for students pursuing technical education," he added.

How the Portal Works

The portal has been designed as a comprehensive digital platform where students can build their profiles, showcase their skill sets, upload details of training and certifications, discover job opportunities, apply online and track their placement status. The initiative would empower students by providing them direct access to employment opportunities and industry requirements.

Employers can register on the portal, post vacancies, review eligible candidates, initiate the hiring process and intimate the department about successful recruitments. The integrated system would facilitate transparent and efficient interactions between employers and job seekers while reducing procedural delays in the recruitment process.

So far, 97 employers have also registered with the portal.

Expanding Opportunities for Skilled Manpower

He said that services of skilled manpower like electricians, plumbers, etc. can also be taken for even minimal days' work through this portal and skilled manpower can register on this platform.

Empowering Educational Institutions

He said that technical institutions would be able to manage student data, approve profiles and monitor placement outcomes through the portal. This would help educational institutions maintain updated records and strengthen their engagement with prospective employers.

Government's Vision for Skill Development

CM Sukhu said that the state government was leveraging technology to improve governance and create meaningful employment avenues for the youth. He expressed hope that the Takniki Rozgar Setu Portal would strengthen industry-academia linkages, enhance employability and provide a reliable platform for skilled youth to secure quality employment opportunities.

The Chief Minister said that the state government remains committed to making Himachal Pradesh a hub of skilled human resources and ensuring that the youth of the state are equipped to meet the requirements of the industrialists.
