New Delhi: ICA Edu Skills, India’s leading training and skill development institute is conducting an ongoing virtual mega job fair in order to help and connect the people who are seeking employment opportunities amidst the Covid-19 pandemic that led to the cutting down of substantial job openings in our country.

As many as 45 leading companies from various sectors including CA Firms, Banking & Insurance, Manufacturing, ITES & BPO and Logistics are participating in the fair and more than 5,000 students from different parts of the country have registered themselves in it so far. A dozen colleges are participating in the event. More than 30% of students and youngsters have benefited from this digital initiative.

Some of the companies participating are Wipro, ICICI Lombard, HDB Financial, Shalimar Group, OFB Solutions, Genius Consultants, Aright co Consulting, Writers Information, IBN Technologies, OSource Global, SurePrep India, Datamatics Business Solutions, Adecco India and many others.

After registering and signing in to the virtual fair job, seekers can explore the employers’ virtual booths, learn more about the companies and see what all opportunities are available.

“There is a surge of people looking for employment right now as the country has opened economic activities after a strict lockdown, which was meant to curb the brutal second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. The career fair is tailored to fill maximum positions available among the participating companies and provide skilled candidates to the industry”, said Dr. Narendra Shyamsukha, Chairman, ICA Edu Skills.

Virtual job fairs like these play an important role for the new job seekers or students to experience the hiring process as due to the pandemic there has been a gap between the seekers and recruiters. Also, the people who are looking to start their career recently do not have the experience of how the interviews are done.

Mr Ankit Shyamsukha, CEO, ICA Edu Skills added that “Firms continue to face challenges of getting trained manpower. And we find plenty of young graduates struggling to land a job. Education should not be just knowledge but the application of knowledge. The goal of this virtual job fair is to reach as many candidates as possible and provide them with the right direction and platform that suits their talent and aptitude. It helps students understand what the industry is looking for and gives the potential candidates an experience that they have ever had before.”

There has been always a demand-supply gap in professions such as Accounts, Banking, Finance, and Taxation even before the pandemic and the pandemic has only widened this gap. The number of openings (demand) available in this sector is far higher than the number of people available (supply). Despite so many people looking for jobs and yet openings being indefinitely open highlights only 1 issue at large SKILLS GAP. Industry demands are different for which specialized training is needed, If you have the right skills opportunities are aplenty.

New Delhi: With the Covid-19 pandemic cutting down jobs opportunities, India’s leading training and skill development institute ICA Edu Skills has switched over to the virtual placement drives to help students get employment. The institute has created a milestone by placing their more than 200 students in Accounts & Finance stream in the key IT companies across the globe.

ICA Edu Skills, which offers best-in-class training and placement services at the most affordable fees with the mission to minimize unemployability in India, has 300+ centres across India. As the institute specializes in accounts, finance, taxation, and other job-oriented courses, they have got 206+ students placed in the last four months (April-July 2020). But for all sectors combined, the placement record is over 5,000 in these four months.

Mr Ranjit Rai got the highest package of INR 37000 per month at Genpact whereas the rest of the students bagged an average package of over Rs 2-3 lakhs per annum. The students have been picked up for placement in multiple job roles such as process associate, accountant, customer relation officer, etc.

“Recruitment in India is highly personal in nature where a physical meeting still holds a lot of importance. We noticed there was a lot of HRs who wanted to hire but were sceptical to take online interviews. Initial screening was not a problem, but the final selection process sometimes got delayed. It took some hand-holding, counselling and assurance to convince the HRs that the e-meets were not only quicker and better but were more effective as well. After a few rounds of hiring, the recruiters became more comfortable and adapted to this medium. I feel e-meets are going to be the new normal, at least in the preliminary rounds. Although it is much lower than our usual figures of placement, we would like to congratulate all the students who got placed in such unprecedented times when there is a slowdown in the economy and people are losing their jobs every now and then,” said Dr. Narendra Shyamsukha, Founder & Chairman ICA Edu Skills.

During the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns, the institute had to implement strategies for continuous education. They had to change our delivery technique and revamp our teaching pedagogy to ensure the participants are properly trained. Initially, it was difficult since they heavily relied on guided learning under supervision in a controlled environment, however with the help of technology they devised methods to ensure the training stay effective irrespective of the student’s virtual or physical presence.

“We introduced daily assignments and practical classes which helped students understand each concept with much more clarity and e-workshops to address their doubts before each session. This, in turn, ensured that each concept was self practised by all participants,” added Mr. Ankit Shyamsukha, CEO, ICA Edu Skills.

ICA Edu Skills, are envisioned to tap into this void in the education industry and focus on offering more courses in new-age sectors which offers great career opportunities. In addition, apart from creating advanced programmes in the emerging sectors, they have endeavoured to ensure rich and application-oriented learning experience for their students through a unique blended delivery model.
