BRIDGE 2023
53rd Edition - Delhi

Building Human Capital, Accelerating Growth, Enabling Access

In the next five years, almost 25% of jobs are expected to change, says a report from World Economic Forum. Technology, green transition, value chain restructuring, and macroeconomic conditions are the major factors that affect job trends. For resilient economic growth, it is significant to prepare Gen Z with the skills they need for the future of work. On the other hand, the priorities of the Gen Z population are different as their focus is on workplace equity, quality of jobs, the opportunity for continued learning, and upward mobility that benefit them.

ICT Academy Bridge is the convergence of policymakers, industry leaders, and academic leaders to explore the right skills strategy to develop Gen Z for the future of work and the need to invest in people that would augment resilient economic growth. On the theme, 'Building Human Capital, Accelerating Growth, Enabling Access' - the summit helps the higher education institutions across India to focus on the acute problems that the current education system faces to prepare students for a future of rapidly changing work demands. The summit further discusses improving access to better education, skills, and newer economic opportunities for the Gen Z population.
