Nagpur : NIIT Limited, a global leader in Skills and Talent Development, announced ‘Future Ready Talent’ an initiative to encourage youth to enhance their knowledge through future ready programs, together with their regular academic curriculum.
As part of the initiative, Ranveer Allahbadia, an entrepreneur addressed the youth at NIIT centre Nagpur, about the need for going beyond the curriculum by skilling up on IT and re-inventing opportunities for yourself in non-metro cities like Nagpur. Speaking about future ready skills, he said, “Going forward the IT sector is likely to witness huge growth, due to new-age technologies, but one needs the relevant skills to stay ahead. NIIT, through this initiative, is helping students in acquiring these skills that are important for a successful career.”
He also shared the hardships and obstacles he faced while becoming an Entrepreneur and founding Beer Biceps to inspire and motivate students. He went from being an obese kid to shedding the extra kilos and making a career out of it in the form of ‘BeerBiceps.’
NIIT will conduct seminars nationally across 26 centres in India, in the month of July, wherein successful leaders from diverse fields will share their experiences with the youth, building awareness about the importance of new-age future ready careers.
Kshitij Jain, Vice President, Career Education Business, NIIT Ltd., said, “There are multiple career options available in today’s digital economy, but the aspiring professional is often confused due to non-availability of proper information and right guidance. Through this initiative, we aim to build awareness about new career possibilities and provide them with an opportunity to develop and grow in the field of their choice through our new-age career programs.”
According to the Future of Jobs Report (World Economic Forum), jobs in digital technology will grow from 17 % in 2018 to 33 % in 2022. Estimates have indicated that 75 million jobs may be displaced by a shift in the division of labour between humans and machines, while 133 million new roles may emerge that are more adapted to this model. This demonstrates a huge requirement of skilled employees for futuristic industry 4.0 job roles.
Towards this, NIIT offers new age programs in Digital Marketing and Branding, Data Analytics and Predictive Modelling, Full Stack Product Engineering, Banking and Finance and Accounting & Business Analytics.
