 2.2 UP-SKILLING PROGRAMMES
In the past decade, there has been a sea change in the job market scenario. With the growth of technology and digitization,
jobs are getting highly specialized and automated. Consequently, there is a learning gap that needs to be addressed by the
educational sector. Skills employee is important not just to keep up with the technological trends, but also to stay ahead of the
competition.
Technology is Impacting Employment: According to a NASSCOM report, up to 40% of the estimated four million-
strong work-force in India needs re-skilling over the next 5 years to keep pace with automation and changing skill needs in
various industries. Automation and adoption of newer technologies have changed the landscape for professional managers.
Jobs that were earlier done by junior and senior management and even at shop-floor level are seeing the use of artificial
intelligence, machine work, and computerization. Over the past two years, many technologies have replaced jobs that have
made it necessary to invest in up-skilling. This shift is now the reason why many want to make use of this transformation and
up-skill themselves.
Upgrading Knowledge and skill: The only way to up skill is to become the master of your area. As you grow in
knowledge, you also grow in talent. Embrace technologies that help you grow. Engage with clients and industry experts to
know what's going on, and how you can benefit from the knowledge. Evaluate analytics capabilities and decision-support
tools within the ecosystem to identify opportunities to enhance decision-making and improve student outcomes. In view of the
above, the Centre for Distance and Virtual Learning, University of Hyderabad has come out to providing up skilling

their knowledge and also their skills in the specialized areas.
