In this guest article, Ankita Katuri, Co-Founder at The Smarketers introduces us to how trainers, trainees and training partners can get started with social media like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn.

Let’s read on about how to effectively use social media for skill development.

”All you wanted to know about…” is a knowledge series on skill development and employment brought to you by LabourNet Services India Pvt Ltd in partnership with National Skills Network (NSN).

Today, social media is the biggest platform to share thoughts, ideas and the easiest way to reach out to a vast group of people. Also, access to social media has become easier with its introduction on mobile phones in the form of apps. Social media allows people to share their thoughts, ideas and opinions.

It enables direct communication with authorities, it allows your message to reach a wider audience, and also is quite handy. Sharing on such a public platform can be done is various forms like pictures, videos, simple content or even URLs etc. Social media is a convenient platform to engage with audience directly, a game changer for any individual.

Skill development social mediaSocial media like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn can be used in various forms and structures. Keeping in mind the skill development initiatives in the country and the fact that so much is happening on the skill front, social media can be used as a platform to give and carry updates, provide tiny bits of information about the process of training, various stories of placement, and any other information worth sharing. It can be the best way to communicate the positive impact skill development programs have created, the challenges and also the outcomes.

The power of social media lies in interacting and sharing the right information. Keeping in mind, the importance of skill development, social media can be wisely used by trainees, trainers, training companies. Others involved in the process of skill development can share their thoughts about the completion of training and details like enrolling in a new course etc. Ankita KaturiAnkita - Smarketers 

Online media carry a strong and influential voice, and so much can be learnt from engaging directly with people through channels like Facebook, Twitter etc. which can also help us network with authorities from different fields, or even just to be updated with skill development.

With various skill development schemes coming up and lot of trainees graduating each day, social media is the best platform to share one’s experiences. Listed below are a few examples:

  • Interesting placement stories of trained candidates and how they are using their knowledge and skills
  • How training was completed, and the new courses that people are enrolling into and any new skill they have learnt?
  • Training institutions can also provide information on how many people they have trained, how many have acquired jobs as soon as they finished training and which industry sector courses are being offered.
  • Training companies can also share the challenges the trainers faced during the process of training.
  • Engagement with audience can be further amplified by using visual content such aspictures and videos. Well crafted visual content is likely to reach a wider audience and resonate more strongly with them.

Read on below to find out how to use Facebook, Twitter and You tube to share your views and tell us how the NSDC, MSDE, all of your trainers and training institutes have changed your life. This is also a great way to connect with your trainers and respective institutes and thank them by highlighting their impact in your skill development endeavour.

How LinkedIn helps you build your professional network
