Skills Development In The Time of Covid-19, Upskilling Is The Way Forward
In the past year, the COVID-19 pandemic has quickly and dramatically accelerated the need for new workforce skills. The rapid rise of digitization and remote work has placed new demands on employees who, in many instances, now require different skills to support significant changes to how work gets done and to the business priorities. There is a need to reassess existing skills in the face of new industry demands because of technological advancements. Technological advancements have brought to fore efficiency, newer solutions and challenges. These challenges have to do with adapting and co-existing with AI-driven automation, and as such, require new-age skills. It’s no surprise then that most employers prefer to hire upskilled professionals. The recent years have also seen a shift in hiring from a degree-based approach to a ‘skill-based approach’.
Through this approach, core skills get precedence over degrees. As per the Future of Work Trends 2022 Report, 69% of companies are now holding an individual’s curiosity and willingness to learn in higher regard than their degree and experience. This paradigm shift in hiring practices erases barriers for employees who are keen to learn, thus, increasing the talent pool in organization. While a skill-based approach to hiring is relatively nascent, it will become a widespread hiring norm in 2022.
Knowledge sharing platforms are essential for economic survival and are real-time and automated to retain relevant knowledge.

The Catalytic Drivers Behind The Ideation & Growth Plans
While pursuing MBA, Tanzil realized that students are not getting complete access to the 21st century skills required in today’s dynamic world. Inspite of having internet and social media that can connect worlds apart together, there is still a scarcity of a well-defined platform to help students upgrade their knowledge base.
