What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think about a career?
A corporate job?
An entrepreneurial venture?
A desire to go for higher education to build a strong foundation for your career?
With a rapidly changing socio-economic landscape, career opportunities after graduation for the youth in 2019 look very different from what they did 2 to 3 years ago. The advent of artificial intelligence, machine learning and blockchain technology has started to impact every industry. College graduates have diverse opportunities to explore.
Opportunities in the corporate sector – A culture of continuous learning
The EY report on Future of Jobs in India highlights how globalization, demographic changes and adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies by Indian industries will be the deciding factor to determine how jobs are evolving. IT, BFSI, infrastructure development, healthcare and education are sectors with a large number of versatile opportunities. Graduates with a desire to continuously upskill themselves will do very well. It will be vital to always stay on the lookout to improve the current skillset in every 3 years or so to keep up with the market.
Higher education to open new doors – International exposure
Imagine this, in 2022 there will be job roles that we have never even heard of before. They do not exist today, but it is important to prepare for them now. They require niche skillsets that have adapted to global socio-economic changes. This is especially true for the IT and BFSI sectors. Advanced courses for Industrial Internet of Things, Big Data and Data analytics and SMART Manufacturing are game-changers for graduates with a technical background. International relations, Journalism and Financial Planning for Countries are high demand courses for graduates with a Humanities/Commerce background. Gaining unique exposure by pursuing higher education in an international university provides the added benefit of getting a global perspective for shaping your future.
Becoming an entrepreneur- Making your mark
Creation of new markets, new products and new methods of work boost the economy. With a potential customer base that readily absorbs disruption, the sky is the limit for aspiring entrepreneurs. The Government of India is supporting an entrepreneurial mindset with start-up friendly policies and schemes like MUDRA, “Start-up India, Stand-up-India”, Atal Incubation Centres and more. Becoming an entrepreneur is a well-respected and viable career opportunity after graduation.
