They had no idea what kind of jobs and industries existed and how to reach the companies as most of them did not operate in Nagaland\u201d, Mallik said.<\/div>\n<div>He further added that 73% of the candidates were interested in self-employment and therefore there would be full-fledged career workshops during the job fair. \u201cThere are no middlemen, malpractices or fees involved and all the jobs will have statutory benefits. For the candidates of Nagaland, a special benefit would be the boarding and lodging support so when they migrate to other locations, they would not find any difficulties\u201d, Mallik said.<\/div>\n<div>When asked about the safety of North Eastern youths who would be placed in cities where they are vulnerable to racial abuses, Mallik said that there would be a lot safeguards as they would focus only on jobs where only nationally and internationally reputed companies would be involved. \u201cOnly national training partners are allowed to participate in this programme, as a result, the training quality is very high\u201d, he said.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>When further asked if any measures have been taken up from the side of the government of Nagaland, parliamentary secretary, labour &amp; employment, skill development &amp; entrepreneurship, Neiphrezo Keditsu said that as of now they had not outlined any steps but promised they would look into it. Keditsu said that the job fair would serve as an opportunity for Naga youths, especially the educated and unemployed to embrace private sectors. He said that the normal recruitment processes include a lot of training yet this job fair would be more like a direct recruitment programme where sectors including airlines, restaurants, beauty and wellness, five-star hotels and retail would be set up.<\/div>\n<div>Keditsu added that those candidates who do not get selected would be enrolled and trained under Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) programme where 32,000 youths would be skilled so they can get a job. He said that the employment department had gone down to the grassroots\/village level to find what Naga youths exactly wanted to do in their lives as far as career options were concerned and that, they had made a special study called \u201caspiration and capacity mapping study\u201d to find out what young Naga boys and girls wanted to do in their lives so the department could bring in programmes suited for them.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>He said that the career orientation of Nagas were basically government sectors and hoped that the \u201ccareer capacity mapping study\u201d would be able to highlight and show the department exactly where they needed to direct the boys and girls. Aditya however said that attitudes were changing and that a survey they had done showed that 83% of Nagas were willing to work in private sectors and not just government sectors.<\/div>\n<div>Other officials that attended the press conference were director of employment, skill and development and entrepreneurship, Mithingnyuba Sangtam and secretary (L&amp;E) government of Nagaland, Amenla T.
