Gadwal: District Collector B.M. Santosh has urged unemployed youth in the district to make full use of the Digital Employment Exchange of Telangana (DEET), an innovative online platform developed to provide private employment opportunities.
On Monday, the Collector formally unveiled the DEET poster at the meeting hall of the Integrated District Office Complex (IDOC). Speaking on the occasion, he explained that the Telangana State Government, under the supervision of the Department of Industries, has introduced the DEET platform to bridge the gap between job seekers and private companies.
An AI-Powered Employment Tool
The Collector noted that the DEET platform is powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and has been specifically designed to link students and unemployed youth with various private and corporate job providers. He emphasized that job seekers can install the DEET mobile app on Android and Apple phones, and those without smartphones—such as hostel-dwelling students—can register directly at www.deet.telangana.gov.in.
He added that over 8,443 job opportunities are currently available through company employers on the platform, including options for full-time, part-time, and work-from-home roles.
Eligibility Criteria and Inclusivity
Collector Santosh stated that individuals aged 15 years and above are eligible to apply, including those with minimal literacy or even M.Phil./Ph.D. qualifications. The platform is inclusive of all social categories, including persons with disabilities, who can register for internships or apprenticeships through DEET.
For additional information or assistance, the Collector provided the following helpline numbers:
92814 23575, 23576, 23577, 23578, 23579
