Nashik: Over 300 Youth Get Job Opportunities At NIMA Employment Fair

On a recent employment fair in Nashik, organized by the Nashik Industries and Manufacturers’ Association (NIMA), more than 300 young individuals secured job opportunities. The fair aimed to connect the youth with employment prospects in the industrial sector while also assisting industries in finding skilled workers. Over 30 industries and four corporations participated in the event, offering information on employment, training, and skill development.

At the event, NIMA President Ashish Nahar announced that some selected candidates were given appointment letters on the spot. Attendees included MLA Seema Hiray, Vice-President Kishor Rathi, Secretary Rajendra Ahire, Treasurer Rajendra Wadnere, Employment Generation Committee Chairman Govind Borse, Deputy Commissioner of Labour Vikas Mali, and Assistant Commissioner Patil.

In her speech as the chief guest, MLA Hiray highlighted the rapid expansion of Nashik's industrial sector, which has created numerous employment opportunities for local youth. However, she emphasized the importance of developing relevant skills to capitalize on these opportunities. Nahar, in his introductory remarks, noted that the growing number of industries in Nashik has led to a continuous rise in the demand for skilled manpower.

He stressed that young people should not only seek jobs but also continuously upgrade their skills and understand the industrial sector's requirements.

Deputy Commissioner of Labour Vikas Mali pointed out that having skilled manpower is essential for industrial growth. He informed the audience that while educational qualifications are important, candidates must also possess the necessary skills, a positive attitude towards work, and the ability to adapt to new technologies. The participating industries provided candidates with details about available positions, required educational qualifications, and the selection process.

Various industrial companies at the fair set up stalls to inform candidates about job opportunities, relevant qualifications, skills needed, and the selection procedures. Youth visited these stalls, gathering information on employment and skill development opportunities. They were also encouraged to focus on skill development aligned with the evolving demands of the industrial sector.

Notable attendees included Kailas Aher, Kiran Khabia, Hemant Khond, Nitin Awhad, Nanasaheb Deore, along with several entrepreneurs and students.
