ASSOCHAM !

Given that technology plays a huge role in development, it has now spread its grandeur in Skill Development. Video conferencing and satellites have made it possible for students in India to swap information with their superiors in NASA- that is the power of Technology. With digital platforms like Windows, Mac, etc. and search engines like Google, Oracle, etc., skill development in India is now just a click away.

Forwarding skill to areas where it was formerly not possible has now become quite comfortable because of leveraging technology. It is now possible to set up power centres in rural India, with the help of digital equipment and teach via video calls.

e-learning and Online assessment technologies can help Skill Training Institutes to automate key aspects of teaching, knowledge sharing and conduct online assessment. Many skill training institutes have started taking advantage of technology to enhance, automate and scale up their operations.

Be it selling skills, networking/ influencing skills, all as were happening in a face to face medium will change to virtual which means a different way to approach customers, gain their trust and sell the products. There are several examples where face to face distribution models were the only way and yet COVID has indeed accelerated the move to digital and online mediums. Learning will need to evolve to cater to a larger digital world which has more players to compete with and more markets to explore.

That’s where we should expect the Government to intervene and create establishments where learning of the smallest of soft and hard skills takes place on the basis of futuristic learning technology. With the Government’s emphasis on Skill India Mission, we can expect these plans to gain more traction. If an establishment of such a tech-based learning ecosystem is realized, with its full potential, we’ll have no dearth of high quality, an aptly-trained workforce that will be able to drive India’s economy towards the right direction.

Therefore, it is safe to conclude that emerging technology and its implementation in India’s skilling ecosystem will be phenomenally beneficial for the country’s workforce as well as its industry. It has the ability to make India the international powerhouse of a competent human resource.
