The National Service Scheme (NSS) has announced the commencement of a six-month volunteer recruitment program for National Service graduates and unemployed youth. This initiative aims to address the pressing issue of youth unemployment in the country, which has been a growing concern for some time now.
According to the NSS, the decision to recruit volunteers was made in response to the numerous applications received from young people eager to serve their country. The recruitment drive will focus on various sectors, including sanitation, teaching, agriculture, health, and other areas aligned with the government’s efforts to promote environmental health, cleanliness, and sustainable development.
The NSS emphasized that the program is designed to provide young people with valuable skills and experience, which will enhance their employability and contribute to the nation’s development. To facilitate the selection process, an online application system will be operational soon on the Scheme’s website.
Applicants are encouraged to spread awareness about this opportunity among potential candidates in their region or district and provide necessary guidance and support throughout the application process. The NSS assured that the online application system will be user-friendly and accessible to all, ensuring a seamless and efficient application process.
The Scheme also emphasized that the recruitment process will be transparent and merit-based, with equal opportunities for all eligible applicants. By providing a platform for young people to serve their country and gain valuable experience, the NSS aims to empower the youth and contribute to the nation’s development and progress.
