In the present era of rapidly-changing IT industry, it is important for students and educators to keep pace with the going-ons. Also, understanding where they stand amid competition, and the skills they need, are crucial to ascend the corporate ladder.
Whereas, in regards to educators, identifying new knowledge and skills to sustain in the IT industry and its applications in the real world requires research. It helps the educators to give the students a more realistic picture of what the industry needs and the newer developments out there. Moreover, it lets them guide the students on how to be effective in newer roles that are necessary to these developments.
Nevertheless, educational institutions are finding it difficult in equipping the students with necessary knowledge and skills, for different reasons. The online Edtech platforms and institutions are not properly equipped, either by way of faculty or proper infrastructure.
Thus, every year, a majority of the workforce released into the job market is mediocre and under-skilled. These underachievers thus face trouble finding the right jobs.
