However, the good news is, India is still on high spirits knowing the fact that it comprises one of the youngest populations in an aging world, and by 2022 the country’s median age will be just 28 as compared with 37 in China and the US. Nevertheless, this also brings into limelight the need for skill development training among the youth of the country.

The 21st century fresh graduates cannot afford to sit back and wait for a desirable job to knock on their door. This is the time, where they are expected to act and groom themselves up to experience a smooth campus to corporate transition and stand out from the crowd.

  • Internships sustain great value in the eyes and preferences of the employers today and the students understand it quite well. Reportedly, in 2018, India received 80% (2.2 million applications) more internship applications compared to 2017’s 1.27 million applications.
  • According to the Internshala-online training and internship platform, almost half (48%) of the internships posted on its website came with pre-placement offers.
  • As per co-founder of Vyre.co, Sudev Das – the essential section of IT graduates pursuing an education in tier 1 colleges get hired instantly, by the biggest companies or larger startups. However, in tier 2, 3 and 4 colleges primarily where students have a good attitude but not necessarily engineering knowledge or experience the bulk-hiring happens.
  • The joint study conducted by Cisco and the International Data Corporation claimed that there will be more than 1.4 million new IT jobs available in India by 2027, indicating the upcoming workforce to focus on getting imbibed with ample skills.
  • NASSCOM highlighted that 1.4 lakh jobs are vacant in the Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data Analytics segment as of 2018 due to lack of skilled graduates.

Skilling is not a choice anymore; it has become mandatory for fresh graduates who aspire to thrive in their careers. And considering the huge openings in the IT sector, it will be safe to say that fresh graduates should give a thought on engaging in IT Courses before embarking on their job hunt journey. A right training which can be customized and personalized according to the need of a graduate or ongoing student can put a noticeable impact on their resume and the career in the long run.
