Context :

 

Govt’s online job exchange for elderly to start on Oct 1  /  TNN  /  29 Sept 2021

 

Extract :

 

Come October 1, senior citizens seeking work opportunities will be able to register themselves on a FIRST OF ITS KIND , dedicated employment exchange portal , starting Oct 1

 

The “ Senior Able Citizens for Re-employment in Dignity ( SACRED ) “ portal being steered by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment ( MoSJ&E ), will enable,

 

Ø  Virtual Matching of employable elderly of 60 years and above, with the Employers who will come forward and REGISTER on the platform

Ø   

Social Justice and empowerment Secretary, R Subrahmanyam explained that,

 

Ø  This Employment Exchange is going to be an INTERACTIVE PLATFORM, where stakeholders meet each other VIRTUALLY and decide on the COURSE of ACTION

Ø   

While the portal creates a provision for CAPTURING FEEDBACK and OUTCOMES , in terms of “ how many seniors got employment “, the Ministry is clear that the employment exchange portal does not guarantee any job

Once the portal goes live, a Senior Citizen can register with,

 

Ø  Relevant Education

Ø  Past Experience

Ø  Skills, and

Ø  Areas of interest

Ø   

The person will also have the option to,

Ø  Select Keywords regarding expected tasks,

Ø   

Which will enable the job-providers find them AUTOMATICALLY

 

The portal also allows senior citizens to UPDATE their details at any point of time, after registration

 

The job-providers on their part, while registering on the portal,

 

Ø  Will specify the TASK involved, and

Ø  The number of Senior Citizens that are required to complete it

 

Based on the MATCHING CRITERIA, the Senior Citizen will be able to CONTACT the job-providers

To ensure privacy, no documents of the applicant or job-provider shall be stored on the portal

 

=================================================================  
 

My Take :

 

When this was first reported, I sent following e-mail :

Ø  Thank You, Dr Virendra Kumarji ………………….( 28 Aug 2021 )

 

-     where I suggested as follows :

 

Ø  For the Design Team of SACRED, to “ copy “(for benefit of the retirees ), the matchmaking process of traditional job-portals, is a simple and straight forward process

Ø  I urge you to resist the temptation of such a COPY-CAT following of existing job-portals .

            It will amount to RE-INVENTING the WHEEL !

 

Following is my suggestion for SACRED platform :

 

 

#  As with current job-portals, it will require retired professionals to submit a detailed RESUME

#  Besides standard PERSONAL data (+ contact details ), the resume will have greater emphasis on CAREER

    /EXPERIENCE HISTORY, providing details of each Company / Organization served – Duration – Salary

    drawn – Designation / Title held – Functional Responsibility – No of employees supervised etc

 #  Employers(Recruiters) too, would register and provide Company details, but there will be no Job-Posting

#  Employers would have facility of “ Resume Search / Shortlisting “ and sending e-mails to targeted

    retired persons, explaining the nature of assignment / desired completion target / compensation etc

#  SACRED platform would provide ONLINE VIDEO DISCUSSION / CONSULTATIONS between a

    retired professional and ( one or more ) Company executives ( quite like ZOOM – Google Meet etc )

#  Platform would also have facility to enable Company to make online payment (of agreed fees ), to

    the retired person

#  Platform would enable such online consultations in VIRTUAL CABINS

#  Platform will “ assign “ a specific Virtual Cabin to a Company ( with scheduling / cabin booking process )

#   On SACRED platform, there will be no limit to the number of Virtual Cabins that can be generated.

     Upon request, more than one VIRTUAL CABIN can be assigned to any one Employer.

     Platform will support thousands of consultations, simultaneously

#   Platform would charge a small ( token ) fee to the Employer Company, linked to its online usage of

      Virtual Cabins ( hourly rate )

#   This CONCEPT is explained in great details at :

Ø  Visual Analytical Resumes ……………………………………[ 02 July 2013 ]

      Ø  ONLINE JOBS FAIR …………………………………………….. [ 11 Feb 2016 ]

Ø  Software Architecture For Online Jobs Fair………… [ 29 Mar 2018 ]

       Ø  Will Chatbots take away Jobs ? ……………………………[ 24 June 2017 ]

 

 

#   It would be quite easy to “ adapt / modify “  the basic architecture of SACRED platform to enable

     retired professionals to earn income by offering their CONSULTANCY SERVICES online, in following areas :

  [ A ]    Health-Care ( Psycho-Therapy Consultations / Counseling )

          Share - Your - Soul / Outsourcing Unlimited………….[ 24 July 2016 ]

 

[ B ]    Judiciary ( Virtual Courts )

          Justice delayed is Justice Denied ……………………………[ 12 Sept 2018 ]

 

[ C ]    Tourism

           Future of Tourism ? …………………………………………………[ 22 July 2020 ]

 

Dear Dr Kumarji,

(officesjem@gmail.com )

 

If SACRED design team needs any clarifications ( with respect to my suggestion ), I will be happy to help

================================================================

Dear Shri R Subrahmanyamji,

 

The news report speaks of SACRED portal as being “ One of its kind “

Already, online meetings being conducted using ZOOM – GOOGLE MEET,  are virtual, but in 2D

What would make SACRED, a truly “ One of its kind “, is enabling the job-provider executive and the retired professional to face each other in Virtual Cabins,  as VOLUMETRIC 3D HOLOGRAMS !

If we can pull this off, we can expect the following :

Ø  A true 3^rd DIMENSION to “ work from home “ / “ work from anywhere “

Ø  A benchmark for all the thousands of existing Job Portals, in India and around the world

Ø  Retired / talented,  Indian professionals offering online consultancy service to companies around the world ( boosting foreign exchange earnings )

Ø  Getting all 50 million retired professionals to register on SACRED , within a month !

Here is how :

Ø  Request Taylor Scott ( CEO – IKIN ) to plug-in  IKIN’s 3D Volumetric Holography technology in SACRED portal. Considering the fantastic “ Promotional Value “, he might even do it for FREE !

From IKIN website :

             IKIN’s RYZ hologram software and display allows you to experience rich, realistic 360° holograms with

             full touch interactivity and visual tracking brought to life in a whole new dimension.

                #   Open source hologram software platform

                #   Breakthrough volumetric display and visual tracking

                #   Brilliant, true to life color and clarity in ambient light

                #   No headsets, goggles, glasses or gloves required

                #   5G ready

 

Ø  Request Sundar Pichai ( CEO – Google ) to implement into SACRED’s Google Meet , translated captions , as reported in :

              Google Meet is testing live translated captions  /  engadget  /  27 Sept 2021

              Extract :

Ø  Google Meet's latest beta feature could help make video conferences with foreign clients, partners, students and employees go more smoothly.

Ø  The tech giant has started testing live translated captions for the program, which is a step up from Meet's standard live captions. It will initially support meetings conducted in English that it can translate into Spanish, French, Portuguese and German.

These enhancements can be implemented over the next few weeks after the launch

       Once SACRED is launched , I will try to register myself ( as a retired professional ) and send you further

       feedback

       With regards,
