The  NCS  project  aims  to  provide  seamless  access  to  jobseekers  and employers,  decent  employment  opportunities  to  the  aspiring  youth  of  the country and to facilitate career development assistance.

There  is  no  placement  organization  registered  in  the  State  of  Tamil Nadu under the National Career Services scheme. Till 31 st  July 2022, the total number of employers registered from the State of Tamil Nadu is 23,256.

As of 31 st  July 2022, the total number of jobseekers registered on NCS portal in Coimbatore District including Pollachi Constituency is 60,254.

Services provided under NCS scheme are free and voluntary. All efforts are  made  to  encourage  all  the  stakeholders  including  jobseekers  and employers to make maximum use of the services provided by NCS. The main target is to increase  the utilization of these  services. The  details of achievements of NCS portal is as under:

NCS is also  offering  its  registered  jobseekers  a  free,  self-paced  Online  Training Programme on 'Soft Skills'.
