Skilling and capacity development: A playbook for success

In a world that will be increasingly led by AI, the burning questions in 21st century economics are:
• As individuals, will what we are taught at school and trained at college still be relevant by the time we turn 40?
• With modern jobs increasingly being remade by AI, how can workers and businesses continue to remain relevant?
• Is achieving breakout growth for emerging economies a pipe-dream if they can’t get skilling right?
India is touted to become the 3rd largest economy in the world by 2030, by realising the potential of its demographic dividend- a 65% working-age population. But how real is this? What is its skilling playbook for employability in manufacturing, services and the digital economy to achieve breakout growth? What has worked? What has failed?
Our expert panel will also examine these challenges from a broader viewpoint of emerging markets. The robust discussion will create an urgency to get skilling right for economies in ASEAN & India achieve growth aspirations and future proof the workforce in an AI and automation-driven world.
