K Rajaraman asks industry to focus on skilled manpower
By MYBRANDBOOK
DoT Secretary K Rajaraman has urged the telecom industry, sector skill council, states and various stakeholders to make all-out efforts to enhance and deepen the skilling initiatives that will meet the evolving needs of the sector.
K Rajaraman noted the “great demand” for skilled manpower in various aspects of digital connectivity, including the network and retail side. He emphasised the need for imparting the “right kind of skills”, and asked industry and all stakeholders to collectively find pathways to address the skilling requirements.
The secretary pointed out that state governments, which are important stakeholders, have a number of programmes for upskilling and reskilling.
He said, “In last few months, we have been able to conduct a number of programmes... One of them is to sensitise all the state governments about the upcoming opportunities in 5G roll out. It is very important that we map the job requirements of other countries and standards they require,” adding that it is important for states to come forward for laying out funds and focusing on 5G and related skills. Doing so would ensure that foundations of the digital economy strengthened across the country.
He also stated that the Department of Telecom (DoT) has also requested the ministry of skill development to look at negotiating mutual recognition agreements with other countries, so that telecom professionals certified from training institutes in India can even look at employment opportunities outside.
