Executive summary:

The current workforce does not possess the skills that will be required with the arrival and adoption of new industrial trends. Industries have limited options to ascertain that the workforce is skilled enough to take on challenges of the future. Two of the most popular options are turning to robots (automation) or reskilling the existing workforce. The most pertinent aspect for sustaining the high growth of a sector is to create a future- ready workforce by bridging the gap between the demand and supply side of manpower, addressing the scale and quality paradigms.
