Highlighting the growth and success of the NCS portal, a single window platform that connects job seekers and employers, Dr. Mandaviya said, “With over 35 lakh registered employers and more than 1.10 crore active job seekers as of October 31, 2024, the NCS portal continues to support workforce mobilization. Since its launch, the platform has mobilized more than 3.46 crore vacancies, with 1.09 crore vacancies reported in the fiscal year 2023-24 alone. This financial year, the total number of vacancies posted on NCS has already crossed the 1 crore mark.”

Salient Points of the MoU:

The MoU is initially set for a period of two years. Under this agreement, Cygnus Ujala Group and its third-party staffing agencies involved in hiring for Cygnus will regularly post job vacancies on the NCS portal and conduct hiring through it. The collaboration also involves organizing job fairs at Model Career Centers (MCCs), where job seekers will have the opportunity to interact directly with Cygnus’s recruitment teams.

A key aspect of the MoU is its focus on inclusivity. The partnership prioritizes promoting employment opportunities for women, ensuring equal access to jobs. This joint initiative aims to create a more inclusive healthcare workforce by empowering individuals from diverse backgrounds.

The Job seekers using the NCS portal will gain access to more health care job opportunities in the portal especially in Tier 2 and 3 cities of the country. The NCS portal already has a dedicated section for healthcare jobs. The MoU will facilitate more local healthcare jobs for NCS Job Seekers.
