21st-CENTURY JOBS: TRAINING EMPLOYEES FOR A DIGITAL AGE
As automation, digitization, and advances in AI continue to disrupt the way we work, the skills needed to succeed in this new era are in short supply, creating a new global battle for talent. It’s more vital than ever for companies to invest in “upskilling” existing employees. With what toolkits do we arm current workers so they can compete and flourish in this new terrain? How can companies train future talent and build skills through real-world experience? What can leaders do to ensure that underserved demographics get the skills needed to create long-lasting careers?

Spotlight Session: No One Left Behind: Bridging Digital Divides and Education Inequities
Technology enables connection, education, health, and economic growth—but not for everyone. The divide between those who have access to technology and quality education and those who don’t remains a global challenge and has potential to widen further with increasing natural disasters and conflicts, and as advances in AI impact workforces around the globe. Extending access to technology and digital upskilling on the continent of Africa, where a rapidly growing youth population must be able to participate fully in the economy and society, is particularly urgent. This session will explore innovative solutions and strategies for bridging the digital divide and addressing education inequities, especially in underserved communities. Addressing these challenges will require concerted efforts from governments, businesses, non-profit organizations, and communities, so we can all reap the benefits of unlocking technology’s full potential to empower individuals, reduce poverty, promote social inclusion, and foster innovation.

Graphic design is everywhere nowadays. We are seeing it in TV Shows, over smart apps on our mobile phones, and also in making a business card. When I was in school, my parents discovered drawing classes from free classifieds in Pune portal. From then, I love drawing and doing artwork by applying all my creativity.
I always wanted to go to the art industry so that I can continue to do creative work. In school, drawing was my favorite subject. My friends were also taking my help when it comes to drawing. I always got good marks in drawing and that inspired me to participate in art and creative work. It's not that I only took part in school activities. I am living in Masulkar Colony and at that time, we were used to organizing an event where all kids showcase their talent. Some were giving a performance on dance, some were doing skating, while some were showing their creativity. I was also doing artwork along with friends and having fun. After doing all the activities, we were playing various games with parents as well.
I have also taken part in an event where I had to paint on the street wall. As I grew older, drawing has become my passion. I was pursuing my degree in arts and found top college through free classifieds in Pune portal. Then one of a friend, who was pursuing a degree in computer science, has told me about graphic designing. I was not interested in study at all and found this course. This lets me feel free, and I was not worried about my future, as I have decided my direction.
Then I was thinking about joining Graphic Designing Classes to get a certificate and free classifieds in Pune portal has helped me in it. I have gone through various classes and found the best class at Dr. B.A. Chowk in Pune. Trainers were very supportive and let me think about the design on my own and sometimes I couldn't create a new design so my tutors were always there to give me creative ideas. And at the end of the course, I got a certificate with an A+ grade.
Still, my graduation was not completed so in the meantime, I have created some more logos, business cards, and wedding cards. And once I have completed my education, I have applied in many companies but some companies have such terms and conditions that I would not acknowledge, while some companies were paying a low salary. Then I thought let me take this job to get experience and signed an agreement.
After one year, I have learned many things and upskill my level and then I wanted to do things in my own way. That's why I have left that job, opened my own office and started doing freelancing work. I have posted on free classifieds in Pune portal to get projects. Also, I have used a portfolio to show my designs to the client so that they can have an idea. Thanks to those classes where I have learned, and the company where I had upgraded my skills.
So if you love creating new things, then don't waste your time, and start learning!!
