Continuous skill development and lifelong learning are crucial for driving economic prosperity, empowering individuals to thrive through meaningful employment, and advancing equality and resilience within communities. In line with this objective, the International Labour Organization (ILO) convened the Global Skills Forum on Wednesday to bring together world leaders on the same platform to deliberate on ways to shape skills development in today’s world.
The ILO believes in building an agile workforce capable of navigating the fast-changing labour market, emphasizing the importance of continuous skilling and reskilling. Ms. Shreshtha Gupta, Executive Vice President (IT & Digital), National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) & Director & CTO, NSDC International, said, “I am confident that ILO serves as a catalyst in improving user engagement, expanding reach and advancing collaboration with global countries”.
During the panel discussion on“Human-Centered Digital Transformation of Skills Development” organized by ILO,the Skill India Digital Hub (SIDH), an initiative by the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE), was presented as the tool that transformed India’s skill development ecosystem. SIDH showcases NSDC’s commitment to India’s skilling ecosystem, training 36 million+ candidates, including 16.1 million women, 5.4 million from social backward communities, and 200K+ people with special abilities.
