Re-SKILLING WORKSHOPS

Rohit,

I refer to your call last week , saying that you plan to conduct “ Re-Skilling “ seminars / workshops , in 4 / 5 metros , starting September

Although , this is a topic of considerable current interest – and widely covered by media - , I find very little “ clarity of thinking “ on part of those who debate !

The reason for all this sudden interest is that , although economy is growing fairly well , jobs are not growing to take care of persons joining the work force , each year ( some 12 million )

On top of that , manpower costs are rising rapidly ( what with DA linked to CPI ), prompting businesses / industries , to go in for more mechanization / automation ( resulting in still less jobs )

Then there is a war-like cry that robots will soon displace humans from many jobs – causing further un-employment

And the universal “ Remedy “ being offered is :

“ Re-Skilling “  !

Even if all of the foregoing is partly true , the correct approach must be , as follows :

[ A ]

·         Make a list of Industries

·         Make a list of “ jobs “ , commonly found in each Industry

·         Make a list of “ skills “ , required for carrying out each of these jobs

·         Make a list of “ specific existing jobs “ that are likely to disappear ( citing clearly-worded “ reasons “ against each )

·         For these “ Likely to disappear jobs “ , which current “ skills “ will ALSO disappear ?

[  B  ]

·         Make a list of what “ NEW JOBS “ ( giving clear trade-names / titles / designations etc ), are expected to come up , in next 3 / 5 years ( Industry-wise )

·         What will be the NEW SKILLS that will be required for each of these NEW JOBS ?

This exercise will be like writing “ job descriptions “ for each “ New Job “

·         Make a list of Institutions ( Schools / Colleges / Coaching Classes / ITI  / Online Courses etc ) , who / which , impart these skills , currently

·         List those “ New Skills “ where there is a shortage of “ New Skills Imparting Resources “

·         Frame Recommendations for :

           #   Jobseekers – as to where can they acquire

                these New Skills

          #    Institutions – as to what new courses they

                Need to introduce

         #     Government – as to what kind of Policy

                Support / Monetary Support , it should

                Extend to the Institutions / to the “ New

                Skill Learners / to the “ New Job Employers

HINT :

From that database of 1.8 million job advts that I sent to you sometime back , just extract lists of “ Job Titles / Designations / Vacancy-Names “ , industry-wise

For each of these , you already have LISTS of KEYWORDS , many of which denote , the SKILL REQUIREMENTS  !
