The global landscape of work is changing rapidly, with millions of young people currently unemployed and an estimated billion about to enter the workforce in the next decade. Conventional education, while valuable, may not be enough to guarantee a successful career launch in this evolving environment. The traditional approach to education and job search may not be sufficient. Then there are experienced people who are presently unemployed, who have a gap in their career for some reason, and are looking to get employed again. The reasons for their present unemployment can be varied. One of the increasing reasons could be because of technological disruption happening due to automation and AI and their earlier jobs become redundant. With more technologies and faster speed of technological advancements, what is being done by a human is increasingly being done by machines, automation, and AI. A lot of industries and functions are getting disrupted simultaneously, industries like banking, insurance and financial services, health care, customer care, and supply chain. A lot of existing job functions, roles, and skills are becoming absolute, jobs carry increasing risk of becoming redundant.

Employment is necessary for most to provide necessities food, clothing, shelter, healthcare, and education for self and family. In case these necessities have been met then for higher needs and purposes. In some cases, it can just be productively engaged. If a person needs employment and is having any challenges with getting suitable opportunities there are various implications of one being unemployed. On his confidence, self-esteem, and mental and physical health as well.

Upcoming technological disruptions and their implication on making jobs redundant will be a big societal challenge.

And this needs to be addressed ASAP.

At VishvaVidya, we believe the answer lies in building a supportive ecosystem that empowers individuals to thrive in this dynamic environment. We bridge the gap between unemployment and fulfilling careers by providing guidance and mentorship from experienced professionals. Through meaningful apprenticeships, participants gain the practical (new) skills and real-world experience that employers truly value.

VishvaVidya’s mission is to create a supportive ecosystem where unemployed individuals connect with experienced mentors, participate in meaningful apprenticeships, and are empowered toward successful employment.

In short Connect unemployed individuals to mentors and apprenticeships for success. Help unemployed people get employment.

While there are challenges because of the changes and developments in technologies, industries, and functions, there are also newer opportunities being created. New needs of industries and functions. New roles require newer skills.

It’s part of evolution. Some jobs will change, some will no longer be needed, and some new ones will be created. This may require newer skill sets.

There are new industries, new jobs getting created or reinvented requiring new skills. Skills like prompt engineering, agile practitioner, product management, user experience, data annotation, and cloud engineering.

The Power of Mentorship:

In the past, access to quality training and learning resources was limited and expensive. Today, free or low-cost training and learning resources are abundant. However, navigating this vast amount of information can be overwhelming. This is where our experienced mentors play a vital role.

Our mentors act as guiding lights, helping mentees navigate the wealth of learning resources and focus their efforts on areas most relevant to their career goals. By understanding each mentee’s strengths, our mentors can provide personalized guidance on industry trends, business needs, and the most effective paths to secure fulfilling employment.

Collaboration is Key:

While mentorship is crucial, its effectiveness is amplified through industry collaboration. Our business partners play a critical role by providing apprenticeship opportunities. These apprenticeships allow mentees to gain practical skills and real-world experience that employers truly value. This not only benefits mentees, but also allows our business partners to tap into a talent pipeline for their future growth needs.

A Sustainable Ecosystem:

VishvaVidya fosters a sustainable ecosystem where the three key constituents – mentees, mentors, and business partners – work together in a symbiotic relationship.

  • Mentees: Gain the skills and guidance needed to launch successful careers.
  • Mentors: Share their knowledge and experience, contributing to the community’s growth and derive fulfillment.
  • Business Partners: Access a pool of talented individuals and contribute to building a skilled workforce.

The Ripple Effect:

The success of our program extends beyond initial job placement. We envision a future where successful mentees become mentors themselves, giving back to the ecosystem and ensuring its long-term impact. This ripple effect will empower countless individuals and contribute to a thriving future for all.
