The Centre on Wednesday formally launched the Skill India Digital app, which brings together listings for upskilling courses and job listings. The app had been soft launched in April, and was announced by Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman during the Budget session of Parliament in February.
The app will be linked with DigiLocker and Aadhaar to issue verifiable certificates of course completion and to generate digitally signed CVs for job applicants and people taking courses.
Skill India Digital is linked to the Udyam portal for registration of micro, small and medium enterprises, the eShram portal, created to build a National Database of Unorganized Workers, the National Career Service, a five year project launched by the Government in 2015 for job-seekers, and the ASEEM job directory.
