UPSKILLING TO DECREASE THE LABOR AND DIVERSITY DIVIDE
Today, U.S. companies are facing the highest talent shortages in a decade. The skills gap between the current workforce and organizations’ needs is only widening because of the digital acceleration and transformation Covid has ushered in. How can companies create a talent pipeline with critical digital skills, while also driving inclusivity and advancing diverse and underrepresented talent within their organization? How will the shift to a skills-first paradigm break down systemic hiring barriers and create opportunities for everyone? Hear more about the collaborations between the public and private sectors that are closing the labor shortage and skills gap by creating upskilling opportunities, and the training that is producing the most adaptable, diverse, and highly skilled workforce the country has ever seen.

RIGHT-SKILLING / EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS
Being in the digital world, access to information has become super easy. But, understanding and practising application of the information in the context of the “real work world” is extremely important to develop industry relevant skills.
Continuous exposure to industry helps bridge the gap between academia and the real world. It is necessary for both the students and the faculty.
SkillingIndia team is well experienced and networked in the industry. It strongly understands the real needs and gaps around the Employability ecosystem. This knowledge is clearly visible in all the Certified Employability Programs that are created by us and the quality with which they are executed.
