The beginning of a year rekindles the hopes for new opportunities. Year 2017 is starting at an interesting note when technology is fast becoming the backbone of all life functions and routines, be it jobs or shopping, studying or living.
This sentiment will affect the employment sector as well. “India has enjoyed a good 2016 and going into 2017, we expect the country to continue its positive growth, largely unaffected by the global economic slowdown.
The government’s initiatives such as ‘Make In India’ have created more opportunities for India’s export market, which has led to increased investment in the manufacturing sector”.
While digitisation is being hailed right now because it brings easy access and transparency to system, it also means that some job roles and functions will be redefined. Talking of these, Nicolas Dumoulin shared a list of sectors that are likely to hire in big numbers in the coming year. He also shared the skills that will possibly be in demand in these sectors in the time ahead. Check these here.
