In the rapidly evolving landscape of the modern workforce, the skills gap has become a significant challenge. With technological advancements and changing job requirements, many workers find themselves with outdated skills that are no longer in demand. Bridging the skills gap is essential for the future of work, and edtech solutions offer a promising way forward.
To discuss the current skills gap in the Indian workforce and how edtech solutions can help individuals, the Bharat Innovators Series, powered by AWS and Intel, is hosting a webinar titled "Bridging the skills gap: Edtech solutions for reskilling, upskilling and lifelong learning" on May 4, 2023, at 4PM IST.
The webinar will feature a panel of experts including Mayank Kumar, Co-founder and MD, upGrad; Shreyasi Singh, Founder and CEO, Harappa; Subramanyam Reddy, CEO and Founder, KnowledgeHut upGrad; and Amit Mahensaria, CEO, upGrad Campus (earlier Impartus) in conversation with Sunil PP, South Asia Lead - Education, Space, NPOs, Channels & Alliances, Amazon Web Services (AWS).
The panelists will discuss the role of edtech in enabling professionals to reskill, upskill, and learn for life. They will deep-dive into the different types of tools that edtech companies are leveraging, such as online courses, virtual reality simulations, and gamification, and how they can be used to provide learners with the hands-on experience and training they need to acquire new skills. It will also highlight how employers can use edtech to create more effective on-the-job training programmes for employees.
