Bridging the skills gap for sustained growth.

 





I always felt that formal education seldom offers solutions to practical problems of life.  It is lifelong learning which improves a person's makings, bit by bit and day by day.

Thus realising the importance and joy of continuous growth, I always seek for improvement. For this, I read on a daily basis, keep attending various courses and thereby keep challenging myself by grabbing opportunities to grow. My diverse passions in areas like branding, EdTech, training, leadership, HR, etc., also helps me remain a lifelong learner. My passion for learning helps me embrace changes as well as keep breaking my comfort zones.

Udemy in its latest Skills Gap Report, underlines that lifelong or continuous learning is prerequisite for survival in the fast changing world

In its Fourth edition of Skills Gap Report, India has been included for the first time. As per this, “There is an underlying current of anxiety, with as many as three-quarters of workers in India responding that they feel personally affected by the skills gap. Indian employees understand the importance of professional development, but they also feel responsible for it and expect their employers to support them on their upskilling journey”.

Are employers listening?

Moreover, the focus on getting higher marks than their peers makes students learn in individual silos and limits their collective growth. Do...

Information, Knowledge and Wisdom: Role of Teachers in the Age of EdTech

  Can advances in technology, the wide prevalence of the Internet and smart  learning apps replace human teachers altogether?  It is a fact that the Internet provides tonnes of information. It is undoubtedly one of the important sources of knowledge. However, it is also a source of a bundle of misinformation. Moreover, the internet offers bits and pieces of information. A teacher can take this information, transform it in a coherent piece, and teach it in a way that the student can understand properly. Thus, Internet and technology can complement the endeavor of knowledge-seekers but can never take over the role of a teacher. Rather a good teacher who can instill value system, sound character, and can groom his learners in distinguishing between right and wrong, is more relevant in this age of EdTech. Last but never the least, teacher is the only source of wisdom and shall remain so in future as well. ...
