The healthcare sector in India is one of the largest employers, employing a total of 7.5 million people, making the demand for qualified Allied Healthcare Professionals higher than ever before. However, the sector faces significant challenges in matching talent with opportunity. Healthcare-Careers aims to solve this by offering a dedicated platform that not only enables job seekers to find relevant opportunities but also allows recruiters to source skilled professionals easily and efficiently.

Tech Mahindra SMART Academy for Healthcare has been at the forefront of skilling youngsters in the Healthcare sector through its academies in Delhi, Mumbai, Mohali, Navi Mumbai, and Pune with the annual capacity to train about 7000 youngsters recruited by over 1000 leading hospitals across India. The Foundation is determined to open more academies and centres to keep up with the demand for professionals in the healthcare sector.

Key Features of Healthcare-Careers:

• Job Seekers: Healthcare-Careers provides a one-stop platform for aspiring Allied Healthcare professionals to explore job opportunities in various specialties. Whether looking for roles in medical record science, radiology, lab technology, or medical administration, professionals can access a wide range of jobs tailored to their expertise.

• Recruiters: Hospitals, nursing homes, and other healthcare providers can benefit from a refined recruitment process. The portal simplifies candidate sourcing, offering filters for specialisation, experience level, and location preferences, ensuring the right talent is connected with the right opportunity.

Mr Chetan Kapoor, Chief Executive Officer, Tech Mahindra Foundation, emphasised, “The launch of Healthcare-Careers is a game-changer for the healthcare industry in India. By providing a focused platform, we aim to solve one of the key challenges in the sector-finding qualified professionals who are ready to contribute to improving healthcare outcomes across the country.”

Highlighting the critical need to connect the right talent with the right opportunities, Dr. Rodney Reviere, Programme Director, GIZ India, said, “India has a tough labour market. The country’s vastness and variety as well as the huge number of jobseekers make finding the right match between employee and employer very difficult. The newly launched Job Portal under the project ASCENT helps cut through the complexities and challenges by bringing job seekers and job providers in one place.”

Mr Sajid Ali, Chief Operations Officer, Tech Mahindra Foundation, said,“The portal is set to play a pivotal role in improving employability, enhancing the skills-to-opportunity match, and, ultimately, strengthening Indias healthcare ecosystem. We are committed to helping individuals build meaningful careers in allied healthcare while addressing the staffing needs of healthcare providers.”

With the launch of Healthcare-Careers, Tech Mahindra Foundation and GIZ are taking a significant step forward in ensuring the right balance between healthcare talent and industry demand. As the healthcare sector in India continues to grow, this platform is expected to make a lasting impact on employability and access to healthcare services nationwide.
