UDHAMPUR: A placement fair is planned to be held at Air Force Auditorium on the 14th and 15th of November 2014.
Every year a large number of Air Warriors leave service at a relatively young age of about 38 to 42 years. Resettlement of Ex-IAF personnel (Air Veterans) into their second career has remained an area of focus for the government. IAF has been taking all possible measures to make this transition seamless for their air warriors. To meet this challenge, the Indian Air Force Placement Cell (IAFPC) was set up in the year 2007.
IAFPC is part of Directorate of Air Veterans, Air Headquarter, Subroto Park, New Delhi. It assists retired air veterans/ soon to retire air warriors to find suitable jobs in the civil/corporate sector. It is the nodal agency which maintains HR database of air veterans. This database consists of a vast pool of young and highly trained personnel numbering approximately twenty thousand.
IAFPC operates its website iafpc.co.in. All placement processes such as projection of vacancies by companies, posting of vacancies, receipt of applications and sponsoring of eligible candidates to the companies is web based. Representatives of CII, ICICI Bank, Monster for India will address the gathering.
