8 impressive panels will be covering the following themes which we believe will help the ecosystem in creating smoother Education to Employability pathways for the young India.

The Summit speakers will deliberate on the following:

• Skill Development of new generation is a national need. It is the foundation stone for a Self-reliant India. What are the key actions that we need to take to seamlessly integrate formal education with vocational education?

• What do government, policy makers, industry, academia, service providers do to reap the demographic dividend before it’s too late?

• How do we maximise the engagement with Industry to create an Industry led skilling ecosystem in our country? What role can the Government play in supporting it?

• Is Internationalisation of Skilling possible, do we need to consider International Colleges/ Universities/ Training Providers as a potential ecosystem partner? If yes, how do we strengthen our engagements with them?

• Supporting Entrepreneurs and new businesses, how can Government and Industry collaborate to support them with the ease of doing business?

• How can Apprenticeship support the education to employability transition, does it help in enhancing the employability quotient?

• With national funding on skilling reaching minimal levels, how do we create a sustainable skilling ecosystem that has to move from a government led push ecosystem to market led pull ecosystem?
