“Synergy Between Education and Skilling: The Future of Work in India”

Author(s) Ms. Parul Tyagi

Abstract The changing world of work in the fast-paced technological advancements, automation, and globalization calls for a change from the traditional method of education and skill development. The industry of today requires the integration of technical knowledge, creativity, and problem-solving abilities. India's 2020 National Education Policy offers a paradigm shift to meet the changing requirements by giving precedence to vocational training, inter-disciplinary approach, and digital education, thus bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and industry-related skills.
This research looks at the nexus between education and skill development in India, highlighting the need for curricular reforms, innovative pedagogy, and institutional reforms in response to the changing employment situation. Specific focus is given to sectors like renewable energy and electronics manufacturing, which are central to the realization of India's sustainability vision and its vision of a self-reliant and globally competitive economy. By aligning educational courses with labor market requirements, fostering industry-academic collaborations, and pursuing skill-based education, India can create a robust and resilient workforce that can tackle emerging economic challenges.
In addition, online learning platforms, micro-credentialing, and MOOCs are recognized as a need for ongoing skilled development and global access to learning. These enable not just enhanced employability but also lifelong learning and adaptability in an ever-changing labor market.
The paper ends on policy recommendations to further enhance public-private partnerships, increase interdisciplinary programs, and increase investment in digital infrastructure. Combining education and skills at every level will provide India with a future-fit workforce with the ability to satisfy the demands of existing and emerging industries, leading to long-term economic growth and long-term sustainability.
Keywords Keywords: National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, integration of education and skill development, curriculum reforms, renewable energy, manufacturing of electronic products, lifelong learning, digital interfaces.
