Google and NSDC
launch Android Skill Development Programme
A
100-hour course to train developers to create applications for the mobile
platform.
The National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) and Google India have
come together to scale up the mobile developer ecosystem in the country. They
have formed the Android Skill Development Programme for this initiative.
They will both work together to impart mobile development training on the
android and Web platforms. This will scale up and improve the quality of the
mobile app development ecosystem in India.
Under this programme, a 100-hour course will be introduced to train
developers to create applications for the mobile platform. These applications
can be used on smartphones and tablets running on the android operating system.
The course will be delivered by NSDC’s partner agencies, which are outside the
formal education system.
Announcing the collaboration, Manish Kumar, MD & CEO, NSDC says,
“This is a timely association considering promising development in the
telecommunication and IT sectors and their importance for economic progression
of the country. The collaboration aims to accelerate mobile skill training and
create opportunities for youth in the country.”

Digital education: A necessity in the age of Uber-ized
workforce
At TechHR'17, Ronnie
Screwvala, Entrepreneur and Philanthropist spoke passionately about why
uberization of organizations will be futile if they don't create their unique
culture.
Each
organization is extremely unique, and templating things across the board is a
huge challenge - to constantly say that uberization is happening everywhere, we
need to be little cautious about that.
This
session is part of People Matters TechHR 2017.

Leveraging
digital learning
The second session of day one at the Virtual Tech HR
Conference by People Matters talks about 'leveraging digital learning to boost
workforce productivity.'
The book Alice in Wonderland has provided immense reading pleasure to
millions of children all over the world, through the decades. But if you
read between the lines of this very popular story, there are a lot of life lessons
to be learnt from its underlying messages. “Running very fast in order to
be able to stay in the same place” draws an analogy to personal growth and
lifelong learning in today’s rapidly changing and technologically challenging
world. When Lewis Carroll wrote this fairy tale, he could very easily
have been talking about keeping pace with digital learning that helps a worker
do a job better and faster.
In today’s world there is barely enough time to upscale employees.
To make things even more challenging, skills required to deliver high
performances are continuously increasing. While most companies offer
specific, targeted and role-based professional development to their employees,
there is a critical lack of digital skills training.
Kartik Mohila, Founder of InspireOne
Technologies and Marina Delic, a senior consultant from the GI
Group, who were the main speakers at this seminar, share their
experiences of working with firms who leverage their digital learnings to
upscale their workforce.
An interesting introspection in shaping learning cultures in
organizations is that 10 to 15 minutes a day are spent in idle time and each
period lasts from 2 to 3 minutes long. This is a window of opportunity
that organizations can use, to help their employees with learning content, that
is relevant to the job at hand.
