Though lakhs of students graduate every year, not all grab the job they wish the main reason being a gap between the skillset and a company's requirement. Researches show that over 30 percent of companies had open positions for nearly six months due to the shortfall of skilled and qualified candidates. With the frantic revolution in technological advancements and new business practices, the skills that were required to succeed earlier are not the same as those are relevant now and will not be the same for tomorrow as well. Employees will have to become lifelong learners to remain competitive in the workplace. While the shelf-life of skills is diminishing, the need for learning and development is becoming more significant.
