- Quote by Mr. Girish Singhania, CEO, EduBridge Learning
We are heading towards the 75th year of independence. Till about a decade ago we have extensively relied on the virtues of education to get India on the global map. Just about ten years back, forerunners of this country started viewing the economic situation in a practical light. This is the reason why the government is laying emphasis on skill development together with education. On the occasion of World Skilling day, we should be celebrating the virtue of skilling with gusto! There is great merit in skilling. It will not only make the youth more employable but will also help the nation’s GDP to move up favourably.
In times that are dominated by the internet, we EdTech’s have the advantage of employing technology to reach out to the youth residing in the most remote parts of the country and deliver them to a fruitful skilling program, that could bag them a winning placement opportunity. A good job will positively help with the overall family income by almost 50%-110%. If education imparts literacy, skilling makes one that much more employable.
On this day we also like to add that skilling is not only limited to the young learners, but also extends to professionals who’d want to better their career path and advance their prospects in the corporate segment. In a world that is riddled with technological advancements, digital literacy assumes utmost importance and hence being digitally updated in quintessential.
- Quote by Mr. Ankush Singhla, Co-Founder, Coding Ninjas
Skilling youth is the need of the hour for a young and developing country like India, where 40 percent of the population is below 25, thus making Youth Skill Day an event of utter importance for us. This day indicates that we need to arm our younger generation with proper skills to prepare them for future work and employment and contribute to the country’s growth. We at Coding Ninjas believe that skilling, upskilling and reskilling are the ways to economic prosperity. The data shows that India needs an unprecedented skilling programme for its workforce to achieve economic growth targets and ensure ample employment opportunities. In this scenario, marking Youth Skill Day is not just customary but a requirement to call the youth and motivate them to acquire skills for their bright future. Also as the National Education Policy has recognised coding as an important skill, we are committed to supporting the younger generation to get upskilled by learning to code and excel in the IT field, where the job demands are huge for a qualified workforce to realise the potential.
