AI for skill development in youth

Scenario: Vivek, a student from a small town in West Bengal, has completed his basic education but feels unprepared for the rapidly changing job market. He is aware that he needs to acquire new skills to become employable but is unsure of which skills to focus on or how to begin. With limited access to career guidance, Vivek struggles to identify the right courses that align with his aspirations and the skills currently in demand.

Student’s challenge: Design an AI-powered platform that helps students like Vivek bridge the gap between their current skills and career aspirations. The platform should assess a student’s existing skills, identify areas for improvement and recommend personalized learning paths. It should provide tailored course suggestions based on individual goals and career trends, while offering periodic assessments to track progress. Instead of offering generic courses, the platform should provide specific interventions and nudges, such as actionable feedback and targeted skill-building activities, ensuring that students receive the right guidance to meet their career objectives and improve their employability.
