The Karnataka Skill Development Corporation is ushering in the new year with an opportunity for job seekers in Bengaluru by hosting the inaugural job fair of 2025. Scheduled for January 7 and 8, the event will take place at the Nandan Football Ground, located in Austin Town, Shanthinagar, Bengaluru.

The event, which runs from 9 am to 5 pm on both days, promises a platform for direct interaction between candidates and leading companies in the city.

Established in 2008 under the Department of Skill Development, Entrepreneurship and Livelihood, Government of Karnataka, the Karnataka Skill Development Corporation (KSDC) plays a pivotal role in enhancing the employability of the state's youth. Annually, it facilitates short-term vocational training for over 60,000 individuals through the Pradhan Mantri Kaushalya Vikas Yojana (PMKKY) and the state's own Chief Minister's Kaushal Karnataka Yojana (CMKKY). The organization operates more than 800 accredited training centers across Karnataka, offering skill development programs in various sectors like automotive, IT-ITES, logistics, apparel, and electronics.

Upon completion, candidates receive certification, with KSDC facilitating employment opportunities for them under various schemes.
