The recent technological developments happening at never before pace, has changed the traditional career model of an individual from ‘learn, do, retire’ to a ‘learn, do, learn, do,….repeat’ model. Global industries, technologists, educationalists and government are shifting towards a skill-based labour market, with range of approaches such as realizing the education technology’s potential, building skills, and designing a coherent framework to map skill development and job trends. Our government has been taking necessary initiatives such as Skill India to align with the global labour market, and now the responsibility remains with individual stakeholders of industry and academia to jointly envision the goals. Join us at BRIDGE, the perfect platform for every stakeholder, in formulating and exploring possible strategies that augment the skills revolution.
