Upskilling programmes empowered 2 out of 3 women professionals to return to work after hiatus

Kolkata, March 20 (UNI) Two out of three women professionals felt empowered to return to work after a hiatus by upskilling themselves via professional learning programmes, according to the findings from the Emeritus India Impact Survey 2022.
The survey was conducted by Emeritus, a global leader in world-class professional education, to understand how professionals stay job-ready and future-proof their careers with the help of professional programmes from Emeritus.
According to McKinsey & Company’s global report, a “broken rung” prevents women from stepping up in their career ladders as fewer women are promoted in their jobs compared to men. The Emeritus India Impact Survey found that learning programmes can help women significantly in overcoming this invisible barrier – with 82% of the respondents witnessing a positive impact of the programmes within six months of having taken them and 93% reporting being more effective at work after taking up a professional course.
