In today’s world, young professionals have to climb several mountains to keep pace with the ever-changing and ever-evolving job market
From building a solid foundation during one’s formative years to upskilling, the road to learning seems never-ending in today’s time
At BT Best B-Schools & HR Summit, Pramath Raj Sinha, the Founding Dean of Indian School of Business, gave some tips to young professionals on how they can keep pace with the ever-evolving job market in today’s time
Speaking at Business Today’s B-School and HR Summit 2023, Sinha said, “Now, you need technical and functional training constantly to keep pace.”
Sinha, who is also the founder and chairman of edtech company, Harappa Education also highlighted, “So far, we have been telling (the students) that if you study for three years and then two more years, then you are basically done. But today along the way you will have to do a little bit of training and development every year.”
Sinha also reiterated that though acquiring new skills such as data science or digital marketing is undeniably important, everyone should focus on building a strong foundation by doing foundational courses or going to a good university
Sinha shared that the Indian education system is going through a transformation that has never been witnessed before
Sinha also said that there are ample opportunities that can be unlocked with the help of technology to advance in life and in the job market. He also shared that digital learning can change the lives of people who find it difficult to have access to education
Sinha said technology can do wonders for people who are residing in the hinterlands of the country. “You have to give them a little bit of good quality education, knowledge and content. And they will figure something out,” Sinha concluded
