SWADES (Skilled Workers Arrival Database for Employment Support)

With the aim of making the best of our skilled workforce returning to the country due to the ongoing pandemic, the Government of India has launched a new initiative SWADES (Skilled Workers Arrival Database for Employment Support) to conduct a skill mapping exercise for the returning citizens under the Vande Bharat Mission.
This is a joint initiative of the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, the Ministry of Civil Aviation and the Ministry of External Affairs which aims to create a database of qualified citizens based on their skillsets and experience to tap into and fulfil the demand of Indian and foreign companies.
The collected information will be shared with the companies for suitable placement opportunities in the country.
The returning citizens are required to fill up an online SWADES Skills Card.
The card will facilitate a strategic framework to provide returning citizens with suitable employment opportunities through discussions with key stakeholders including State Governments, Industry Associations and Employers.
MSDE’s implementation arm National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) is supporting the implementation of the project.
