The Kerala Knowledge Economy Mission (KKEM) is a state government initiative launched with the primary objective of providing employment opportunities to the educated youth of Kerala. It aims to achieve this by transforming the state into a Knowledge Society, where knowledge is produced, consumed, and transacted for social and economic advancement.
This involves leveraging digital technologies to foster innovation, solve societal problems, and promote sustainable development.
The mission also focuses on creating a digital platform to connect employers, job seekers, and skill providers, and mobilizes job seekers through local governments and academic institutions.
A key component is the 'Recruit-Train-Deploy' model to ensure industry-relevant employment. KKEM also specifically targets women on career breaks and marginalized sections for employment.
