‘Kerala Looks Ahead’ global conference: Experts to discuss measures to position state as India’s skilled labour hub

Thiruvananthapuram, Jan 22 (UNI) An impressive assemblage of policymakers, industry stalwarts and domain experts from across the world at an upcoming global conference here will deliberate on the enormous potential of Kerala to emerge as India’s skilled labour hub, especially in the post-pandemic scenario, and suggest an actionable roadmap that would accelerate the process of skill development in the state.
The three-day ‘Kerala Looks Ahead’ (KLA) conference from February 1, 2021, being organised by the Kerala State Planning Board, would highlight the vital role of skill training and upgradation in promoting economic growth, particularly in the context of new-age technologies making phenomenal inroads in the conduct of businesses.
Kerala’s skilled professional workers have been the preferred choice of employers both in India and outside, and this needs to be effectively leveraged, keeping in view global manufacturing becoming more automated and knowledge-intensive, said Planning Board Vice Chairperson Dr VK Ramachandran. “Kerala's strength with respect to school and higher education makes it better equipped than most other states to deal with the new challenge,” he added.
