The software maker’s ‘Career Connector’ service will act as a clearing house to connect people to find jobs in Microsoft’s ‘ecosystem’ over the next three years. Microsoft said on Tuesday that it intends to place 50,000 people in tech-enabled jobs as part of its professional networking arm LinkedIn’s effort to re-skill workforce. Launched last June, Microsoft’s skill-building effort aimed to impart digital skills to 25 million people worldwide. The company said it has helped over 30 million people in several countries through its global skills initiative, including close to three million people from India. LinkedIn will provide new ways and tools for job seekers and employers to connect with expanded access to its Skills Graph feature.
