13th Global Skills Summit by FICCI
2022-09-27 09:00 - 2022-09-28 19:00 | Federation House, FICCI, Federation House, Tansen Marg, New Delhi, New Delhi, 110001, India
Theme: Education to Employability – Making it Happen

Overview >>>

The 13th edition of Global Skills Summit’s theme ‘Education to Employability – Making it Happen’ would focus on easing the education to employability transition for the youth of our country. After 34 years since the launch of the National Policy of Education in 1986, the new National Education Policy -2020 envisions to have a learning ecosystem that is second to none. Currently, Our nation is at the cusp of leveraging demographic dividend, disruptive technologies and changing World of Work. The Summit would look from the NEP lens and focus on how India can become the “Skill Capital of the World” keeping the UN Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4) as an underpinning theme.

The NEP 2020 has set the goal of exposing at least 50% learners of the school and higher education systems to vocational education. The onus of “Making it happen” lies not only on the Government of India’s initiatives but also on the collaborative efforts of Industry, Academia, Philanthropies, Foundations, NGOs and Social Sector Organisations. A joint effort by all the stakeholders will prepare the youth of our country in making India rich before we get old. Technology will play a key role in being the strongest enabler of this transition. One of the areas of key deliberation will be the emergence of competency based skilling, a national credit framework and the role of national curriculum framework. The E2E transition would need considerable support from National and International organisations in building capacities and gaining perspectives. We look at employability as a critical skill to create sustainable livelihoods. The Summit will also see discussions on encouraging Entrepreneurship, Apprenticeship and Craftsmanship. It will bring together key stakeholders to deliberate upon strategies and share best practices that helps India in developing a 21st century skills ecosystem. There will be discussions on financing models of Indian TVET and a deep dive deliberation on how a robust financing system can truly support the Education to Employability Transition in India. The two day Summit will conclude with a celebration event “VIRASAT” The Heritage which honours and recognises the exquisite craft of the Indian artisans. We welcome you all to be a part of this revolution and engage with more than 400 participants including policymakers, industry leaders, state and central government officials, training partners, representatives of multilateral & bilateral agencies, and students.

12:00 – 12:45 PM Panel Discussion I – Emerging Trends in Skill Development & The Future of WorkThere has been a global shift in the workforce with a range of jobs coming up and traditional employment giving way to these. The Fourth Industrial Revolution is giving way to the modern technology transforming the skills sector. The skills relevant at present are likely to be redundant in the coming future and hence, upskilling is the need of the hour.The current workforce in the country is not prepared to deal with these changes with more than half of the prospective professionals failing to meet the employability requirements. Talent shortage of 29 million by 2030 is anticipated by The International Labour Organization. This gap will affect a lot of industries and businesses and the country will face acute shortage of skilled manpower. This session will deliberate on the emerging trends in the industry, the requirements and how the skilling landscape is being affected by it and is evolving based on the current demands.Welcome remarks by the Moderator(Technical Support Agency-Jharkhand State Livelihood Promotion Society)Panel DiscussionGovernment OfficialsIndustry ExpertTech ExpertSector Skill CouncilSector Skill Council Q&AClosing Remarks12:45 – 01:30 PM Panel Discussion II- Upskilling and Reskilling: Strategies for Effective Skill Development With the changing workforce scenario and rise in automation and Al, there will be about 133 million new roles as per World Economic Forum. These job roles would require new sets of knowledge and skills, thus bringing forth the need for upskilling and reskilling.Upskilling means helping and teaching the employees ‘new skills’ and develop new competencies to close the talent gaps and equip them to perform better in their current roles. Reskilling is about switching roles and promoting lateral learning to help people move onto new job roles within the organization.These two new strategies must be adopted for developing new competencies and in this session, the panelists will be discussing about the adoption of these strategies for skill development in the evolving job scenarios and in-demand skills.Welcome remarks by the Moderator(Official-Government of Jharkhand)Panel DiscussionGovernment OfficialsGovernment OfficialsIndustry ExpertIndustry ExpertSector Skill CouncilSector Skill CouncilQ&AClosing Remarks

02:30 – 3:15 PM Panel Discussion III- The Role of Government in Promoting Skill Development and Workforce ReadinessSkilling sector is constantly growing and in the coming years, it has become imperative to lay emphasis on the nation-wide programs for skill building. According to the World Trade Organization, the GDP level of India can increase by 305% by 2035 if the focus in on skill development and training as out of the youth entering the workforce every year, more than 70% are not job ready. With the new job roles, this gap is going to widen if the strong measures to bridge the skill gaps re not undertaken. To enhance the employability of its youth, empower them and provide them with a safe future, it is necessary that education and skill development go hand in hand.The government has a vital role to play and, in this session, the panelists will deliberate upon some of the measures which can be undertaken by the government to promote skill development in terms of: policy interventions, infrastructure developments, industry linkages, demand creation for skilling, improving participation of private sector in skilling and strong and robust M&E mechanisms for informed decision making.Welcome remarks by the Moderator (Technical Support Agency JSLPS)Panel DiscussionGovernment OfficialsGovernment OfficialsGovernment OfficialsSector Skill CouncilCXO-PIAIndustry Expert Q&AClosing Remarks03:15 – 04:00 PM Panel Discussion IV – “Bridging the Skills Gap: Strategies to improve placement & retentionThe Skill India Mission has led to the provision of trained workforce for the country by preparing the youngsters through training. However, in the face of changing and evolving new roles, it is imperative that skill development needs to be aligned with new technologies such as Al, machine learning, advance biosciences etc. to build a future ready workforce. The gig economy, demographic and social shifts are together defining a ‘future of work’ affecting the companies, workers and supply chains. There need to be catering to industry demand and include not only technical know-how but also must include soft skills, behaviors, mindset trainings and digital literacy that enables the youth to be more agile, receptive and resilient.This can be done through mentoring, coaching, adopting hybrid models, promoting apprenticeships and developing industry linkages as it will not only enhance learning but will also promote retention and employee engagement. The other strategy could be to improve women participation in the non-traditional roles and promote STEM education to ensure that the industry requirements of trained workforce to work in different shifts are met. In this session, the panelists will dwell upon the strategies to improve placement and retention and methods to bridge the existing skill gaps.Welcome remarks by the Moderator (Industry Expert)Panel DiscussionPanel DiscussionModrator – Industry ExpertCXO-PIAGovernment OfficialEmployerEmployer Q&AClosing Remarks

02:00 pm – 03:20 pmSession 2 Industry Driven High Quality Skilling: Imperative Roadmap The Hon’ble Prime Minister has highlighted that “skilling, re-skilling and up-skilling are the mantras for the future workforce” and “India has the potential to become one of the largest providers of skilled workforce in the world”. The role and involvement of Industry is critical for bringing in speed and scale in the education and skilling initiatives of our country. To develop a learning ecosystem that is continuous and creates professionals of the future, it is vital that the industry is actively engaged with the education ecosystem. The relationship between Industry and Academia needs to be mutually beneficial and enriching. With increasing sunrise sectors (semiconductors, electric vehicles, biofuels, AI/ML to name a few) attracting huge investments in India there is a strong need to develop skilled workforce for such sectors who can be readily deployed.The session will attempt to answer the following questions: 1. How can academia and government create value that attracts the industry? 2. How has the government facilitated the process of the identifying and setting up clusters of emerging sectors across the country? 3.

10:30 am –11:45 amSession 5Harmonisation of Skilling initiatives of various ministries in IndiaThe absence of a single central nodal agency for formulation and release of skilling schemes has over the years created overlaps between ministries and confusion amongst the beneficiaries. Absence of a single point data base for the entire skilling ecosystem has been another challenge that has hampered the effectiveness and outcome of the skilling initiatives of the Indian Government. Today, multiple portals for various schemes like PMKVY 4.0 (MSDE) ; DDUGKY (MoRD) ; NULM (MoHUPA) ; Samarth Scheme (Ministry of Textile) ; PM Daksh (Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment) ; Seekho Kamao (MoMA) and many more exist. Many aspiring to be skilled get confused by so many schemes at different places. Hence, we all recognise that simplification and availability of all schemes at one place is important. The ecosystem is expected to work more efficiently if efforts are more synergised. The session will deliberate on: 1. Importance and relevance of such multiple initiatives in current times 2.

SKILLS Bridge Masterclass on Revolutionizing Skill Development: India's Sector Skills Councils
2024-05-28 13:30 - 15:00 | New Delhi
The International Labour Organization (ILO)s in collaboration with The World Bank, UNESCO, and National Skill Development Corporation, India organises the next upcoming episode of the “SKILLS Bridge” Masterclass series. This session will delve into the crucial topic of sector skill councils (SSCs), exploring their role in bridging the gap between skills demand and supply and promoting innovation in the context of fast changing world of work. The Master Class will focus on exploring the success factors for SSCs and providing policy guidance for countries planning to establish or strengthen their SSCs.

Objective

Sector Skills Councils (SSC) are crucial in bridging the gap between skills demand and supply while promoting lifelong learning within a specific sector. These organisations bring together essential stakeholders, such as employers, workers’ organisations, enterprises, and educational and training institutions, to identify and address the sector’s skills demands, promoting innovation and investment in workforce development.

However, establishing and maintaining sector skills bodies can be challenging for many countries. This SKILLS Bridge Masterclass episode aims to delve into these challenges and explore the success factors for sector skill councils based on experiences of several countries. Specifically, this masterclass will dive deep into transitioning SSCs in India from purely government-funded organisations to ones generating revenue and providing value-added and diversified services.

The key topics that the webinar will address include:

Identifying the primary challenges and enabling factors for ensuring the long-term sustainability and effectiveness of Sector Skills Bodies, with a particular focus on financing their operations.

Providing policy guidance for countries planning to establish or strengthen their SSCs.

By examining these issues in-depth, the webinar offers valuable insights into improving the effectiveness and longevity of sector skills bodies in different contexts.

In today’s rapidly evolving global economy, the nature of work is undergoing profound transformation, driven by technological innovation, climate change, shifting trade dynamics, and demographic transitions. As industries adapt, so must the workforce. Yet, a widening skills gap threatens economic growth, employability, and innovation across the globe.
While all countries face challenges in aligning education and training systems with changing labour market needs, low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are disproportionately affected. These countries grapple not only with emerging demands—such as digital and green skills—but also with long-standing systemic issues: underfunded education systems, weak industry linkages, outdated curricula and infrastructure, and shortages of qualified trainers.
The statistics are stark:

Youth unemployment globally stands at 16%, with nearly one in four young people not in education, employment, or training (NEET).
Public investment in TVET averages less than 0.2% of GDP, resulting in outdated facilities and limited capacity.
Formal TVET access in many LMICs is below 25%, compared to 68% in OECD countries.
Rapid growth of workforce in LMICs, especially Africa (85% of global workforce increase by 2035).
Low enrolment in TVET (e.g. ~6% of secondary students in Africa; rural & female youth are underserved).
