Bridging the Skills Gap in Electronics Industry through Innovative Training

The exponential growth of the Electronics sector in India has been remarkable, presenting numerous employment opportunities for the country’s workforce. Projections indicate that the sector is poised to create approximately 10 lakh jobs by 2025–2026, showcasing its robust expansion and potential to drive economic growth. However, despite the immense employment potential, the Electronics industry often fails to attract students as a top career choice.

Several factors contribute to the lack of aspirational appeal associated with careers in the Electronics sector. Among these factors are the perceived lack of the right skills among prospective job seekers, coupled with a notion that careers in the industry may not be as financially lucrative as other options. Additionally, traditional methods of skill development and learning in the field are often perceived as uninspiring and disconnected from the practical demands of the industry.

To address these challenges and make electronics job roles more attractive to students, there is a pressing need to reimagine skill development and learning in the sector. This entails making the process interesting, relevant, and financially rewarding, thereby fostering excitement and aspiration among students.
