People neglect their skills development many a times and two main reason behind it are,

  • People are often impressed by what others have accomplished without realizing what they went through to get there.
  • People can be heavily self-critical. They look at how successful others are and conclude that we can never achieve the same.

Skills and knowledge development are the driving forces behind the financial growth and community development of any country. Skill building is a powerful tool to empower individuals and improve their social acceptance. It also become more imporatnt in the increasing pace of globalisation and technological changes provide both challenges that are taking place in the world.

  • Increase employment opportunities
  • Increased career development opportunities
  • Personal growth
  • Increase your knowledge and understanding of your local industry

Despite being world’s youngest country in terms of demographic dividend, India has only 2% of the workforce skilled compared with 96% in South Korea, 45% in China, 50-55% in USA & 74% in Germany.The task of skill development has many challenges in India which include:
