During this insightful discussion, the speakers shared their learnings, thoughts and experiences around the following points:
How do we look at demographic dividend as an opportunity to bring in millions of youth under the productive workforce through education, skill development and entrepreneurship?
With shifting dynamics of job-market and technology interventions, what are the avenues for young Indians to keep pace with these changes?
What are the real on-ground challenges that existing interventions face and how do corporate and industries come together to address those challenges?
How do we expand the coverage of skill development to look beyond traditional industry-sectors and connect sectors like arts, sports, future skills, communication and more?
What are the options beyond skills development and how can CSR catalyse the process of youth engagement and empowerment?
What are the lessons learnt through CSR interventions that can help the CSR and social sector fraternity?
