'Skilling' is Everyone's Responsibility

The workplace dynamics are changing in shut eye time. Given the cut throat competition across industries, we can’t really blame employers for expecting new candidates to be smart generalists go-getters producing outcomes beyond their technical or theoretical competence. But who are we kidding; the traditional higher education systems in the country have their own limitations for equipping students for such an elite level of competition. This predicament makes supplementary education platforms promoting increased agility and learning aptitude all the more important. They enable college students and entry level candidates to equip

themselves with technical skills such as Salesforce, Data Analytics, Cloud Computing, AI/ML, and much more, which are imperative for their success with any organization.

However, the biggest challenge for institutes in India is that they lack the infrastructure required to crack this, not to mention that the content for this space is scattered and highly westernized. The pandemic, in fact, showed them a way to accomplish this, thanks to the explosion of online education. Tata Technologies is leveraging this favorable milieu to bridge the skill gap across the country through its Centers of Invention, Innovation, Incubation, and Training (CIIITs) and CoEs. The company is setting a priceless precedent with the scale of its endeavor.

After transforming hundreds of vocational training schools across Jammu and Kashmir and several North Eastern states, and in turn, helping to adjoin the states to the country's industrial map, Tata Technologies recently signed an MoU with the government of Karnataka as well. Through its CIIITs and CoEs, Tata Technologies today endeavors to modernize 150+ ITIs in the state with the help of the latest technological equipment, experts, and state-of-the-art training infrastructure.
