Skilling, Upskilling and Reskilling: The Right way to advance your career
Investing in oneself in the professional growth journey comes from a mindset where you want to be prepared for the unknown future. Skilling, Upskilling and Reskilling are a critical part of this equation. According to a research, by 2022, at least 54% of all employees will require significant reskilling and upskilling. The half-life of a job skill today is about five years – and falling. For all employees – gender agnostic -- around the world to thrive throughout and beyond the 2020s, will have to invest in comprehensive training programs particularly in digital and data and analytics. Women professionals often do a lot of hemming and hawing before they enroll for any training programs. This esteemed panel comprising L&D Heads will talk about the importance for skilling, upskilling and reskilling programs for women professionals and how these trainings can lead them to a successful career path.
The speakers will dwell into the following:
