The Andhra Pradesh government has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Infosys for pre-validating the skill census being undertaken.
As part of the MoU, the IT major will support the government in recording the skill sets of the participants with the aid of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Speaking on the MoU, AP Minister for IT Nara Lokesh said Infosys has undertaken pre-validation as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives.
The skill census will help achieve the target of providing 20 lakh jobs for the youth in the State by assessing their existing skills and aligning them with market demand, Lokesh said.
The first-ever skill census in the country was launched by the State government in October last year, aiming to identify the skills of young people and enhance their training and employment prospects. The Hindu BusinessLine
