How to
create an inspirational learning journey for employees
An inspirational learning
experience comes from an in-built learning culture. There was
a time when learning was not taken so seriously by the corporates. But as times
changed, the business world underwent transformations too. New-age technology
has made life easier but humans have had to adapt to it to make things work.
New developments in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine
learning (ML) are taking place at a face pace, and many of the job functions in
the IT and even HR space are undergoing change at a rapid speed. That means, a
great deal of learning is happening within the corporates today. To achieve
good results from your training and development efforts, the most important
thing that needs to be taken care of is creating a learning culture. To
motivate people to learn and create something big out of their learning, you
need to inspire them to make an impact. There are companies that organise
events specifically to ensure that their people gain inspiration from them.

Joint Declaration of Intent was signed by the Ministry of Skill Development and
Entrepreneurship, India, and the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and
Development (BMZ), Germany. India and Germany have entered into two
formal agreements, to collaborate in the areas of skill development and

education and training, the second was signed for Dual VET initiative, marking
sustainable growth of skills, with Siemens, India. Following this pact, there
will be more focus on enhancing the quality of trainees, by equipping them with
advanced technology skills and helping them find jobs in innovative,
sustainable sectors and technologies, such as renewable energy, e-mobility and
energy-efficiency. The agreements will help create a suitable framework for
skill development and vocational education and training for inclusive and
sustainable growth.

Summer
interns offered average stipend of Rs 2 lakh for 2 months
Employers are relying
more on summer internships to zero in on potential candidates. Employers across
the automobile, banking and finance, and telecom sectors are relying more on
summer internships to zero in on potential candidates for full-time positions.
Management Development Institute, Gurgaon, witnessed a 10 per cent hike in
average stipend at Rs 2,31,000 for two-months. The average stipend offered to
summer interns from the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), for a period
of two months, was Rs 2,08,000 this year, whereas it was only Rs 2,04,000 in
2018. However, at IIM Kozhikode, the figure actually dropped from Rs 1,71,000
in 2018, to Rs 1,68,000 this year. A study by Internshala, an online training
and internship platform, reveals that 47 per cent of summer internships have
been in the field of management because organisations are looking out for
people with hands-on experience. Grofers, Flipkart and other e-commerce
startups are amongst those who take in maximum summer interns.
