Nasscom's Skill Development Platform To Benefit 20 Lakh Techies: 10 Things To Know

Besides artificial intelligence, FutureSkills will also focus on new age technologies such as Virtual Reality, Robotic Process Automation, Internet of Things (IoT), Big Data Analytics, 3D Printing, Cloud Computing, Social and Mobile. While Digital India is working on steps to increase domestic electronic production and BPO promotion schemes for employment, this platform will make talent available for India and the tech industry to embrace opportunities from emerging technologies, said Nasscom. NASSCOM has conducted a comprehensive study with the Boston Consulting Group to identify 8 technologies, poised to grow tremendously, both nationally and globally, in the coming decade, along with associated 55 job roles and corresponding skills required for those technologies. The FutureSkills platform will enable discovery, continuous learning and a marketplace of best-in-class training providers/virtual labs and certifications for each of these job roles and skills, with customised pathways for learning. PM Modi applauded the initiative and its focus on creating skills for future jobs in the country.
