Education, Skills

ADB and LinkedIn are prepared a joint report on the state of skills in Asia, focusing largely on digital skills for new technology occupations. As a complementary exercise, Outline India undertook a survey of employers and training providers to get a better understanding of the evolution of a range of digital credentials and the acceptance of such credentials by employers. The objective of the assignment was to undertake surveys to gain better insights into the future of next-generation qualifications and credentials that are particularly suited for occupations at the time of the fourth industrial revolution. The survey assisted in gaining a better understanding of how traditional and degree/certificate-based qualifications are being supplemented or replaced by new online, non-degree credentials. The aim was to identify emerging new types of credentials with a focus on professionals working in digital occupations.
