SURVEY OF UNEMPLOYABILITY IN ASIA

WHY EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS?

Unemployability is today a greater issue than unemployment. As APJ Abdul Kalam, Former President of India said, "It is not unemployment that is the major problem; it is the question of unemployability that is the major crisis in this competitive arena. According to a NASSCOM-McKinsey report, The Indian Industry will face its biggest challenge ever: a talent shortage of 3.1 million knowledge workers, across Industry, by 2012 compounded by the fact that only 25 per cent of fresh engineers; and a mere 10% of fresh graduates are actually employable! The situation is grave, but it can be addressed through a solution that empowers the youth. Empower these youngsters with the requisite skills they will need to get employment and to grow in a corporate environment. And this skill development must start early: even while the student is pursuing his graduation.
