The careers and employment opportunities in the automotive sector are evolving. The transition to sustainable choices and green mobility solutions coupled with growing electronic content per vehicle means that the technology is forcing a change. The industry needs to adapt quickly! There is a need to upskill and reskill the workforce. Skillveri is a key stakeholder. An enabler, banking on the Metaverse to help the industry adapt and meet the requirement for a skilled workforce in a changing landscape. Averred Sabarinath Nair, CEO, Skillveri, “India has a huge youth population, but major projects like the Delhi Metro and Airport were built with labourers from China and Peru. It gave us the realisation that the country was using out sourced labour for critical infrastructure projects.” “Despite there being a lot of demand for skilled labour in our industries, our youth is unable to benefit from those opportunities since there is a significant gap in both the required skill levels and awareness. Skillveri was started to bridge this ‘Skill Gap’ by using technology to deliver precise, industry-relevant skill training while making it learner-focused and cost-effective at the same time,” he mentioned.
