century skills ecosystem. With more than 400 participants, the key
features of the summit will be panel sessions, masterclasses, Virasat:
The Heritage, exposition and B2B meetings.
The summit will take a
deeper look at future steps in skilling, changing demand in the job
market, existing employment opportunities in India and gainful
engagement of entrepreneurs, craftsmen and artisans.
The summit speakers will deliberate on the following:
*
Skill development of new generation is a national need. It is the
foundation stone for a self-reliant India. What are the key actions that
we need to take to seamlessly integrate formal education with
vocational education?
* What do government, policymakers,
industry, academia, service providers do to reap the demographic
dividend before it's too late?
* How do we maximise the
engagement with industry to create an industry-led skilling ecosystem in
our country? What role can the government play in supporting it?
*
Is internationalisation of skilling possible, do we need to consider
international colleges/ universities/ training providers as a potential
ecosystem partner? If yes, how do we strengthen our engagements with
them?
* Supporting entrepreneurs and new businesses, how can
government and industry collaborate to support them with the ease of
doing business?
* How can apprenticeship support the education
to employability transition, does it help in enhancing the employability
quotient?
* With national funding on skilling reaching minimal
levels, how do we create a sustainable skilling ecosystem that has to
move from a government-led push ecosystem to market-led pull ecosystem?
