IBM Rolls Out Free Digital Learning Platform To Reach More Job Seekers, Provide New Resources To Business Owners

Bengaluru: IBM has rolled out ‘SkillsBuild Reignite’, a platform to provide job seekers and entrepreneurs with access to free online coursework and mentoring support, designed to help them reinvent their careers and businesses, said a statement issued today.

According to the India Skill Report (2019), only 45.6% of the youth graduating from educational institutions are employable. This reflects the massive shortage of skilled workforce in the country. Job seekers, business owners, entrepreneurs and any individual with learning aspirations can use the platform to reskill and upskill themselves in relevant content that includes artificial intelligence, cloud, data analytics and security.

In November 2019, IBM India, in partnership with Directorate General of Training (DGT), Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, Government of India, and its implementation partners, made the SkillsBuild online learning platform available to Indian students. Digital classrooms on this platform are being made available from the Industrial Training Institutes, ITI and technical education ecosystem in India.

The platform will now include more coursework and personalised coaching for entrepreneurs seeking advice to help establish or restart their small businesses as they focus on recovering from the Covid-19 pandemic. Courses include financial management, business strategy, digital strategy, legal support and more.
