PRNewswireMumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 29: Digital and vocational skilling is typically the cornerstone of any economy. And although India is considered to be a hotbed of knowledge and skills, the vast majority of its youth lack what can be termed as the employability quotient. Many experts say the country's employability problem is a bigger challenge than unemployment itself.The National Education Policy 2020 has set the framework for deep educational reform, particularly in higher education, with emphasis on technical as well as soft skills among graduates and postgraduates. The Government is also focussing on digitization to skilling to create a skill development ecosystem for creating skilled workforce and augment livelihood opportunities for the young India.India is one of the youngest nations in the world with over 50 per cent of the population under 30 years. The widening youth population brings upon the policy makers a responsibility to provide adequate opportunities to convert the demographic advantage into demographic dividend. India is progressively moving towards a knowledge economy, and it is imperative to transform the large workforce into an adaptable and flexible skilled workforce which is responsive to the changing job environment.As a leading implementing NGO, Magic Bus India Foundation ensures access to youths from underserved communities who are NEET (Not in education, employment or training) facing the risk of exclusion or struggling with long term employment by bridging the skill gap in digital vocational skilling in India.

By providing vocational training programs through digital means, it will help equip individuals attain the right skill sets and knowledge that they need to secure employment, start their own businesses, and improve their economic prospects.Magic Bus India Foundation is one of the first movers in innovation, updation and upgradation of the skilling curriculum by partnering with various corporate responsibility brands and government to support access towards skilling young people and ensure that it is industry-oriented and relevant to the current job market.
