Webinar on Career opportunities in 2030 for today’s students of Science and technology: A Panel discussion
Event Details
Even before the current pandemic, there have been discussions on what should be the education and training modules in our higher-education centres to prepare our students for their future, which has become less predictable due to globalization, climate change, emergence of AI/ML etc. The current pandemic has added one more dimension to this debate.
Then how can our students plan their professional future, which is at least a decade away? What kind of basic, advanced and transferable skills they should master while they pursue higher education?
All senior school students and their teachers and parents are invited for an informative discussion and interactions with leaders of industry and academia.
