It was launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 20 July 2015 as part of the government’s focus on providing right skills and generating employment.[1]

Currently, there are 1000+ employment exchanges across the country being operated by the concerned state governments. The aim is to transform these exchanges into IT-enabled career centers providing a digital platform to various stakeholders in the employment market.

The Career Centres are a modified version of Employment Exchanges which serve as a platform for addressing all career-related needs of the youth and students.[2]
