This document discusses skill development in India to address the lack of employable youth. It provides guidelines for an online session on the topic, including using the "Raise hand" feature for participation and avoiding misplaced punctuation. It then introduces two individuals - Mr. Vijay, an electrician, and Ms. Bani, an engineer - and asks which would perform better if trained in the other's field. Finally, it discusses some skill development programs and policies in India aimed at addressing this issue.

Mr.Vijay is trained as a programmer, for a

perform better in an assessment?

9. THROUGH MY LOOKING GLASS
Then...
� Software engineer
� Very intrapreneurial
� Solution-centric
� Believed automation and digitisation is the key.
Now...
� High energy toddler.
� Finds joy and essence in routine work.
� Problem-centric
� Hopes for holistic digitisation, which is immune
to the consequences of automation.
