India’s employable talent has risen in the past year, according to The Wheebox India Skills Report 2023.
According to the report, India’s employable workforce has increased from 46.2 percent to 50.3 percent which means that 50.3 percent of people were found to be employable as compared to the last year’s data.
For the reports, 3.75 lakh candidates or freshers were evaluated. They took the Wheebox National Employability Test (WNET) and as many as 150 corporations participated from over 15 different industries.
The percentage of women who were found to be employable has increased to 52.8 percent, compared to 47.2 percent for men. “The consistent rise in women’s employability over the past ten years is a positive sign of radical changes in India’s developing labour market.
Increased participation of women at work will give industries an edge with key roles already being occupied by women as we go into 2023,” the report states.
The report also mentioned that 89 percent of graduates were looking for internship opportunities.
Among the states, candidates from Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Delhi were the most employable, while in professional courses, candidates who have pursued B. Tech, MBA, and B. Com were the most employable talent. In Indian cities, the most employable talent was found in Mumbai, Lucknow, and Mangalore.
However, the gap between the skills the graduates have and the ones required by the industry remains. “There is an urgent need across the country for multiple stakeholders to remedy the industry and higher education gap,” Piyush Nangru, co-founder and COO, Sunstone said.
“Improving employability through higher education remains a challenge and can be attributed to many factors. The post-Covid era further requires realignment of the higher education curriculum, up-skilling practices, and training techniques,” Piyush Nangru said.
