Kerala Labour Minister Shibu Baby John has called upon employers to use the services of employability centres to meet their talent needs. Over the last quarter, he said, more than 300 jobs have been generated through these centres, which is an initiative of the government to ensure that candidates from the State get counselled and trained for jobs.

According to him, the State government is committed to meet the expectations of the Kerala talent trough various initiatives and the employability centres are effective solutions to overcome talent crunch faced by the industry. These centres are set up under the PPP initiative of KASE and TMI Group.
