Skills gap in the UK

Both Indian states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are taking significant steps to address skills shortages among their youth, with Andhra Pradesh planning to establish world-class skill development centres to enhance employability in various sectors. Minister Kolusu Parthasarathy emphasized that without proper skills, education alone won't guarantee job opportunities, stressing the need for skilled human resources for industrial growth. Similarly, Telangana's establishment of the Young India Skills University aims to empower the local workforce and foster innovation, integrating local industries to promote sustainable development. In the UK, a report highlights an urgent need to address skills shortages in key sectors such as tech and engineering to remain competitive globally. Meanwhile, in Asia, remote work is increasingly seen as crucial for attracting and retaining tech talent, with a focus on flexible work arrangements and robust communication infrastructures. Lastly, language training initiatives in India are helping workers, particularly nurses, secure jobs abroad, particularly in countries like Germany facing caregiver shortages.
