Around 92% of Indian employees in a survey have accepted a skill gap in our country. Professionals have to upskill to face the huge competition in Job market. In another survey, 82% of Indian professionals agree that college education has not fully supported them with the required skills to succeed in their sector. Moreover, 84% said skills are changing so rapidly that their current knowledge is becoming obsolete.
Few of us think that to sustain in the job market, we need to do what we have to by utilizing our current skills and not thinking about how to expand our skillset, correct? This is really not true during the pandemic time as the effects of Covid-19 have been highly uneven across all the industries. We have already seen the significant changes that the Covid-19 has brought upon the economic landscape and the demand for new approaches to enhance your existing talent.
Perhaps one of the most crucial impacts of the pandemic has been the unprecedented numbers of laid-off employees and high unemployment rates in India. Even major industries cannot afford to hire new talent, and it is crucial to invest in a workforce adaptable to market changes.
