What worked twenty years ago doesn’t work well in the social, always-on, networked world of business we now inhabit.Industrial organizations are morphing into collaborative organizations. Traditional training is broken and needs to get back in step with the times and several new models are evolving to implement trainings in the organization.
The investigation of training needs is the assessment of the people involved. The purpose of this is threefold: first, people are likely to be more committed to training (who are interested to learn) if they have played a part in identifying the needs themselves; second, it is often necessary to assess the current level of required skill and knowledge among the target group of employees. The basic educational levels and literacy and language skills must be known so that appropriate instructional methods are applied. Surveys are used to assess a number of these variables. If they are used, however, care is taken to ensure individual confidentiality.

Considering the relative urgency of various training needs, taking into account the factors to make it work.

Ltd. operating from Pune & Mumbai (www.innoservsolutions.com )

Gap between Academics and Industry November 30, 2014 23:33

There is a ever growing debate over the skill gap between Industry Need and Academic output in the country. With rapid globalization, extreme competition and ever changing needs of corporate world, the job seekers are expected to be dynamic, quick learners, problem solvers, adaptive and technically ready to meet the n eeds and demand of today’s industry.
The gap between academics and industry is due to several reasons. Students need more clarity on the choice of subjects from the early stages of education and need a proper guidanceat the time after school and through the years of junior college and graduation education. The industries also need to guide early and give the students the right picture of their requirements and what programs students need to pursue.
The problem may be that the traditional educational institutions are not designed for a fast-changing market where skills depreciate quickly. Universities are not designed to change curriculum and introduce new classes at the pace required by changing industry requirements. The line between the years we learn and the years we earn has blurred; to stay relevant, workers must be trained for knowledge nonstop. Even if educational institutions evolve and ensure newly minted workers are ready for employment, workers must continue learning throughout their lives to stay relevant.
