Channel: FICCI India
Date: 15/07/2020

Entrepreneurship and skilling strategies & solutions will go through changes due to the pandemic which has affected millions of people across the world. The need of the hour is to bring innovations and ideas to strengthen the future for this important section of the economy.
 
According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), in mere five years, 35% of the skills deemed essential today will change. Hence, it goes without saying that to survive in the post-COVID-19 world, there is only one way – evolving and adapting. There will be a permanent change in markets and job requirements in the post-pandemic world. Although it is a lot ambiguous about the post-COVID-19 scenarios, one thing we have to learn is to live with the virus and constantly adapt to survive.
 
It is noteworthy that skilling, up-skilling, and re-skilling of India’s workforce will play a crucial role in the success of the Government’s vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat and the recently launched Garib Kalyan Rozgar Abhiyaan. The Government will be having an increased focus on demand is driven skill development, digital technology, and skills about Industry 4.0.
 
To deliberate further, on this, FICCI Madhya Pradesh State Council on the occasion of UN’s World Youth Skills Day 2020 is organizing a webinar on the topic Skill Development & Entrepreneurship - Post COVID-19 on Wednesday, 15th July 2020 from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm.
