Virtual job fairs come to the rescue of rural youth amid Covid-19 lockdown

India Today  

Even as industries in Maharashtra face a manpower crunch because of the mass exodus of migrant labour from the state, "virtual job fairs" in some rural areas of Ahmednagar and Solapur are connecting recruiters from Pune to job aspirants. Virtual job fairs are being organised in NCP MLA Rohit Pawar's constituency of Karjat Jamkhed in Ahmednagar district and at Barshi in Solapur district. "Although the state government has allowed industries in MIDC areas to resume work, companies are facing an acute shortage of labour, as the migrant workforce has left the state," said Shriram Satpute, the founder of Job Showcase, a Pune-based job portal and the brain behind the initiative. However, job aspirants, especially those from rural areas, cannot travel to city firms for interviews due to the ongoing health crisis and lockdown, which was why "virtual job fairs" were the need of the hour, Satpute said.
