The world is undergoing a massive transformation driven by artificial intelligence (AI), automation, and digitalization. To prepare students for the careers of tomorrow, Get Set Learn (GSL), an education company specializing in future skills learning, has partnered with the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) to launch the Skills for New Bharat program. This initiative aims to instill an entrepreneurial mindset in 1 million K-12 students across India within five years. By providing students with exposure to industry challenges, hands-on learning opportunities, and cutting-edge skill development, this collaboration is set to redefine the future of education in India.
Bridging the Future Skills Gap with an Entrepreneurial Mindset
The collaboration between GSL and NSDC is built on a shared vision of future-proofing India's students. As industries worldwide embrace automation and AI, traditional learning models must evolve to ensure students possess the right skills and mindset to succeed. The Skills for New Bharat initiative focuses on three key pillars:
Developing a Future Skills Report
This report will outline the most sought-after skills in today’s rapidly evolving industries. It will act as a roadmap for schools, educators, and policymakers to integrate these skills into their curriculums.
Establishing Future Skills Tinkering Labs
Schools across India will be equipped with innovation-driven labs, enabling students to tinker, experiment, and build real-world projects. These labs will follow a hub-and-spoke model, ensuring accessibility even in remote areas.
Launching SolveIT X NSDC Digital Industry Challenges
Through this platform, students will engage in real-world problem-solving, tackle industry-relevant challenges and earn recognition for their solutions. This initiative will help bridge the gap between theoretical learning and practical application.
By integrating these three pillars, the program will ensure that students develop critical thinking, creativity, digital proficiency, AI capabilities, leadership skills, and resilience—all essential competencies for the workforce of the future.
Conclusion: Preparing India’s Youth for a Future-Ready World
The Skills for New Bharat initiative by Get Set Learn and NSDC is more than just an education program—it’s a movement to reshape India’s education system. By equipping 1 million K-12 students with future skills, this initiative will create an innovation-driven, globally competitive workforce.
As AI, automation, and digital transformation continue to redefine industries, India must prepare its students today for the jobs of tomorrow. Through Future Skills Tinkering Labs, SolveIT X NSDC Digital Industry Challenges, and experiential learning models, Get Set Learn and NSDC are leading the way in shaping the future of education.
