The revolution in job scenario can be accredited to growth of Oil & Gas industries in addition to heavy engineering & design companies, automotive giants setting up greenfield projects and the recent proliferation of IT MNCs. Information Technology is indeed playing a major role in changing the face of skill sourcing in the state, and the statistics of Youth4work, a fast growing youth platform justify the vibrant state of affairs.
Over 30000 youth from Gujarat have self-tested and ranked on various skills on Youth4work through its open Talent Tests. These rankings are making it easier for employers to find job aspirants as per their distinctive skill sets. The platform is helping youth to increase their visibility to potential employers, thereby increasing the chances in the world of cut throat competition. With numerous companies posting jobs on the portal, it is a golden chance for job aspirants to contest their candidature for the desired roles.
The insights reveal that experts in programming languages are being roped in like hot potatoes in Gujarat. Javascript, Core Java and ASP Dot Net are the most preferred skills and talents for talent jobs in the state for IT jobs. BE/B.Tech graduates are enjoying an upper hand over the Commerce and Arts counterparts, but that is because of non-utilization of technology by companies looking for Commerce & Arts graduates.
Rachit Jain, CEO and founder, Youth4work says, “Gujarat has an extraordinary pool of talented graduates vying for desired roles and jobs. We have materialised on digital intelligence to produce metrics of the real skills and interests of job seekers via self assessment tests. There are over 13000 companies using Youth4work and 7% of people on our portal who have been contacted by companies are hired. So, the competition is indeed tough, but our technology is targeting to ease the employment scenario for youth in all the sectors.”
