Industry-Academia Collaboration to bridge skills gap

New Delhi [India], April 6 (ANI/SRV Media): Household names of the past like the Ambassador Car, Bajaj Scooter, Dynora Television, and HMT Watches were some of the most sought after brands at one time, however, they are not at the prime anymore.
The reason lies in the famous saying 'Change is the only thing that is constant. Those who can cope with changing times are the ones who will emerge successfully.
Academia and industry are two different worlds operating on different pedestals. Both have different purposes and different ideologies. However, the gap in the industry requirements and the job readiness in the students is compelling these two different worlds to come together to address and solve some of the real-world challenges.
According to 'National Employability Report', a major segment of graduates remains unemployable, which is based on a study of more than 1,50,000 engineering students from over 650 colleges, 80 per cent of them were unemployable and only three per cent had suitable skills to be employed in software or product market.
One of the approaches to tackle the problem of lacking skill and job readiness is partnerships between the industry and academia.
