Revolutionizing Employment Opportunities for India's Youth
When considering India's youth (ages 16 to 25), we often see students who have been focused on their studies from a young age. However, many of these college students still rely on their parents for "pocket money," which limits their independence and keeps them within a world controlled by parental decisions and scrutiny.
Important
In parallel, we observe that India's employment drive largely depends on Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and local stores in our markets. These sectors provide the bulk of employment opportunities in India. However, this system has faltered over the last decade. To address this, we have developed a solution that creates a completely new field of opportunities.
We also need to recognize what international companies with elite abroad stores that arrived in India after the 1991 Liberalisation (like McDonald's and Domino's) require when they enter India. They need a skilled, well-versed English-speaking workforce at the ground level to enhance customer experience. However, there has always been a shortage of such a workforce. The solution lies in our hands, but cultural and traditional factors often prevent Indian youth from pursuing these opportunities. They lack a respectable platform to approach these companies or local stores. Moreover, bias and complications at these stores have discouraged kids from well-to-do families from taking up such jobs.
Note
Our research into part-time jobs in North America, Europe, and Australia reveals that these regions have long embraced a work culture that balances studies and real-world exposure. This is a valuable lesson for us: to understand that studies alone are not life and that real-world exposure is crucial.
The Pocket Money is designed to empower young individuals by connecting them with part-time job opportunities. Here are some key features of the app:
-
User-Friendly Interface: A clean and intuitive interface that makes navigation easy for users of all technical backgrounds.
-
Job Listings: Browse a variety of part-time job opportunities across different industries, tailored specifically for the 16 to 24 age group.
-
Skill Matching: Our algorithm matches users with job listings that best fit their skills and interests, ensuring a higher chance of job satisfaction and success.
-
Application Tracking: Keep track of your job applications, interviews, and job offers in one convenient place.
-
Profile Management: Create and manage a professional profile that showcases your skills, experience, and achievements.
-
Notifications: Receive timely notifications about new job postings, application statuses, and more.
This application is not a social media platform but a professional profile-building space. It helps students build their vocational profiles, work part-time to earn their living costs, and make decisions for themselves.
This is an assessment system where using ML model( for checking the fluency of the user in English speech ) and vector storage (for retrieval of their literacy and numeracy baseed tests ). This would be a game changer while comparing two employs who are to work at a place. This assessment would assure that they are
- FLUENT in English
- They are LITERATE
- They have SANE NUMERICAL Ideas.
This would provide the employers as a one stop hiring solution as well as would provide the students a respectable platform to gain a part time job.
