ET Digital UP Conclave: Bridging Education and Industry
Imagine schools are like training grounds, and the job market is like a battlefield.
To win, students need the right skills!
Experts at a recent meeting said schools should ask companies what skills are needed, and then change what they teach.
They also discussed that AI, like a super-smart assistant, can help, but we still need human experts too.
Some schools are adding new courses like how to fix electric cars and use robots.
Also, India made a new AI shopping platform.
This way, students are prepared for the future and able to find good jobs.
Experts discussed the need for curricula to match market needs during the ET Digital UP Conclave.
Colleges should regularly consult industry experts to adapt curricula.
