Randstad
Skilling Academy launched by NIIT and Randstad India
The new learning platform will reskill candidates
to ensure they remain industry relevant. National Institute of Information
Technology (NIIT), a global skills and talent development company, has
partnered with Randstad India, a leading HR-service platform to launch the
Randstad Skilling Academy (RSA). The objective of RSA is to reskill candidates
and help them cope with evolving business models by ensuring their skills
remain industry-relevant. This comes at a time when industries are grappling
with remote working and hiring owing to the pandemic. The Academy will further
offer next-generation IT skilling and better preparedness to take on the
‘new-normal’, based on feedback received from clients across India. StackRoute,
under NIIT, will collaborate with RSA to design programmes and deliver them
wherever necessary. Enrolled candidates will be well trained, upskilled and
cross-skilled in upcoming technologies to increase their employability.

Why
organisations must practise immersive learning
Immersive learning
provides learners with an engaging environment that is highly interactive, both
virtually as well as physically, putting them in the middle of a learning
experience. With
the uptake of increased digitisation within organisations, there is a shift in
skill requirements for the future workforce. Learning and Development (L&D)
professionals have realised that in order to enhance the absorption and
retention of skills and knowledge to the maximum, they need to help learners or
employees experience things first hand. However, this is not possible at all
times, and hence, it is essential to create simulated or artificial environments
around learners and employees that allow them to learn as if from a real
experience. This is where ‘immersive learning’ comes into play. It provides
learners with an engaging environment that is highly interactive, both
virtually and physically, putting them in the middle of a learning experience.
