Training India’s 400 Million Millennials:

The challenge of skilling-up the world’s largest workforce – and emerging opportunities in training and HR tech

This interactive panel discussion explored the role of India’s millennial generation in driving growth in the world’s fastest growing economy; challenges facing India’s millennials and Indian industry in skills development and transformation, HR recruitment, and skills recognition on a mass level; the knowledge and skills gaps that exist between universities/colleges and industry and how this needs to be bridged on a mass scale; and how India could be setting a global template for managing the world’s largest workforce.

The event also explored Prime Minister Modi’s 21st Century vision for India, including the Skill India campaign, the industry bodies and educational institutions that are forming partnerships to attract and train 400 million people in skilled work by 2022; and how this is creating a consistent and robust pipeline of talent to fuel Modi’s other project, ‘Make in India’.

Lastly, the event examined, following Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Israel in July 2017, what incentives and support infrastructure exist for Israeli companies seeking to tap into this market, and where are the opportunities for Israeli tech – specifically in the training and HR sectors.
