Engineer’s Day: 5 platforms making engineers job-ready
With 80% engineers in India being unfit for unemployment, developing engineering skills is a necessity. On Engineer’s Day, here are 5 platforms making engineers job-ready.
Engineering has always been a popular career choice among students in India and now offers a wide range of branches for specialization. The engineering industry has always been able to pull students to it due to job security and the defined growth trajectory that it offers.
While the number of engineers passing out every year increases, the lack of skill set beyond the core competency of an engineer amongst the talent pool and increasing shift towards automation is stagnating the engineering ecosystem in India.
As a result of the stagnation, the Annual Employability Survey 2019 report reveals 80 percent of graduates to be unfit for jobs.
On Engineer’s Day, here are 5 platforms making engineers job-ready:
1.BridgeLabz
BridgeLabz Solutions LLP is one of the largest IP-driven incubation labs aimed at nurturing engineering talent and ideas emerging in the technology space.
