How to
support learning in this digital era
‘Learning is a treasure that will
follow its owner everywhere’, goes a Chinese proverb. This is very much
applicable and significant in today’s scenario. With the changing times and
continuous development in technology, upskilling the workforce is not just a
‘tick in the box’ activity anymore, but has become a real business need! According
to recent industry reports, the gap between India’s talent demand and supply in
2021 is expected to be around 140,000 in niche technology skills, such as
artificial intelligence (AI) and big data analytics. The 22nd Annual CEO survey
by PwC also suggests that 55 per cent of CEOs felt that limited availability of
essential skills does not allow them to innovate in business processes. Reading
these stats and reports, it is very much understandable that investing in
upgrading the skills of our employees is the way to go forward and is the key
to stay relevant in the market.

NHRDN organises
‘Re-imagining L&D’ Summit
The Summit
aimed at realigning the human-centric approach in the AI-dominated business
world.
The sixth National Learning & Development Summit platformed sessions
in which industry and human resource experts from different sectors, such as
IT, F&B, banking, and education, brainstormed on various subjects. The
topics discussed included the creation of a new learning and development
(L&D) platform that can be leveraged to a company’s advantage, and the
correct way to cultivate purpose, values and social connections. In addition,
the art of rightfully developing full-stack employees and the L&D
perspective on ‘Man VS Machine’ and ‘Man & Machine’ in the new human era
were also discussed. Organised by the National Human Resource Development
Network (NHRDN), Pune Chapter, at the Fergusson College, the overarching theme
of the summit was to reimagine the L&D strategies for the decade 2020-2030.
The design of the summit included expert views and insights on the best and
next practices in the industry, to carve out L&D strategies for 2030.

PMKVY-2.0
completes around 75 per cent of its skill development goal for 2020
Around
73 lakh youth have already been imparted training under the PMKVY 2.0, as on 17
January, 2020. Under
the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana 2.0 (PMKVY 2.0), which was launched in
October 2016, the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship had set a
target to impart skill training to one crore youth within a span of four years,
that is, 2016 to 2020. Under the scheme, the Centre has already imparted
training to around 73 lakh youth as on 17 January, 2020. The goal under
PMKVY-2.0 was to provide short-term training to around 60 lakh youth and to
ensure that about 40 lakh benefit under the recognition of prior learning
(RPL). While 40 lakh youth have already benefitted from the short-term
training, under RPL the count has reached 33 lakh as on 17 January. The
short-term training benefits candidates who are either school or college
dropouts or unemployed. Candidates are trained in PMKVY training centres and
the duration varies between 150 and 300 hours.
