Goan youth reject jobs, fuel migration, says CM
Panaji: After holding a meeting with industry representatives on Wednesday, chief minister Pramod Sawant said that Goan students need to take up whatever jobs are available, at least to gain experience, as the state may soon make experience certificates mandatory for all govt jobs. Sawant said that if Goan students do not take up the opportunities available in the private sector, the in-migration in Goa will increase manifold. 'The industries are saying the minimum package in pharma companies is Rs 8 lakh. They say that they do not understand why Goans are not taking the jobs. Goans need to change their mindset a bit. Because if we do not take up the jobs which are available here, then there will be large scale migration in Goa,' said Sawant. He said that govt has announced its readiness to establish specialised schools aimed at bridging the gap between skills of the local youth and industry requirements. 'If we need to start a finishing school, we are ready to do that through the directorates of skill development, technical education and higher education for all sectors like pharma, shipping, etc. They should approach the directorate of skill development for the apprenticeship programme. We have also onboarded institutions which can help students studying in private institutions upgrade their qualifications while still undergoing their programme. We will start implementing it from July 1,' said Sawant. He said the meeting was held because of talks of Goa not having sufficient employment opportunities. The chief minister said that a review will be held in two months. 'I ask Goan youth to take job opportunities in whichever sector they can get employment. Due to AI, clerical jobs are reducing. It is important to join whatever job opportunities you get to acquire experience. Like for LDC posts, we are likely to make experience certificates mandatory for other jobs too.' The meeting was attended by representatives from the pharma, shipping, tourism, automobile, and service sectors, along with various industrial associations, to deliberate on Goa's evolving manpower and skilling requirements.
