India’s ministry of skill development and entrepreneurship (MSDE) recently launched the ‘Aatamanirbhar Skilled Employee Employer Mapping (ASEEM)’ portal to help skilled people find sustainable livelihood opportunities. The initiative is aimed at improving information flow and bridging the demand-supply gap in the skilled workforce market.

Apart from recruiting a skilled workforce that spurs business competitiveness and economic growth, the artificial intelligence-based platform has been envisioned to strengthen their career pathways by handholding them through their journeys to attain industry-relevant skills and explore emerging job opportunities, especially in the post COVID era, an official release said.

Besides identifying major skills gap in the sectors and providing review of global best practices, ASEEM will provide employers a platform to assess the availability of skilled workforce and formulate their hiring plans.

ASEEM refers to all the data, trends and analytics that describe the workforce market and map demand of skilled workforce to supply. It will provide real-time granular information by identifying relevant skilling requirements and employment prospects.

ASEEM, also available as an App, has been developed and is being managed by the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) in collaboration with Bengaluru-based company Betterplace, specialising in blue collar employee management.
