As technologies evolve faster, the skills expected by employers continue to change. People seeking employment should constantly upgrade their skills to match the industry's needs.

Fresh graduates, who seek employment after graduation, need to upgrade their skills apart from their regular curriculum learning and graduation. Even though institutions try to address these using modern industry-institute collaboration methods, it is a big challenge on the pace of industrial growth, diversity of technologies, and proportion of students seeking employment.

BRIDGE, at Kanyakumari, is a dedicated conference that brings together HR leaders, industry experts, policymakers, academic leaders, and faculty members to discuss and share strategic ideas in developing students for the future of jobs. The conference also discusses innovative methods to enhance industry-institute interactions, focusing on industry-centric learning and concentrating on professional and technical skill enhancement of the graduating students.
