Microsoft Partners with India for AI-Powered Job Platform
Microsoft is teaming up with the Indian government to help workers find jobs and learn new skills.
They will use smart computer programs called AI chatbots to guide people through government job websites.
This partnership will bring over 15,000 companies to a special job platform called the National Career Service (NCS).
Microsoft will also help train young people in important skills like using computers and keeping information safe.
The Indian government has made new rules to protect workers and make sure they get fair pay.
These rules also help workers save money for the future.
The government and Microsoft believe this will help more people find good jobs and make India’s workforce ready for the future.
