What comes to your mind when you hear “tech skills gap”? You think of skills traditionally associated with information technology firms like coding, software development, and network security management. If compared with hard skills, the gap in applied skills reaches across all sectors. This affects everyone from artists to healthcare workers to business professionals.

There’s a huge demand for workers with tech skills and it continues to soar up every day, across all industries. To better understand the problem and its solutions, consider the following five key points and the opportunities that this Tech Skills Gap offers:

1. THE GAP EXISTS ACROSS ALL INDUSTRIES

Tech skills aren't specific just to the technology sector, but it runs across every industry. The main aim of these essential skills includes the ability to use technology to benefit the organization. Many people lack the necessary skills. That's a gap many people don't anticipate, and it's also an amazing opportunity to learn new skills and hone the existing.

2. DEMAND OUTPACES SUPPLY

There are more than 500,000 computing jobs open across the nation, but less than 50,000 students graduated with a computer science background in 2016. And the main hub of the graduated ones was IT alone. And this is the same issue with other fields, such as healthcare and business.

A survey conducted amongst the industrial hub showed:

• 62% of students coming out of school aren't prepared with the necessary tech skills
• 11% agree that school is effective in meeting skill need
• Three out of four employers feel that finding an employee with all job description requirements is rare

3. EDUCATORS MUST CREATE SOLUTIONS

Educators, institutions and industry advisers need to work together to create curriculums that meet today's demands. It's not only on the shoulders of employers and employees. This will likely include the movement toward an "anytime, anywhere" educational model to bring online and onsite opportunities together.

4. STUDENTS AND EMPLOYEES MUST TAKE INITIATIVE

As more and more business require workers with applied tech and latest hard skills, the present generation is tasked to keep up with the flow to avoid falling into that gap. Advancing technology doesn't allow anyone to become contented. For those who see the gap as an opportunity, it's a great time to learn new skills and sharpen existing ones.

We at Amrutvahini College of Engineering (AVCOE), provide a distinctive excellence driven engineering education that will groom future generations of engineers and entrepreneurs. We aim to create self-disciplined, physically fit, mentally robust and morally strong engineers and technocrats with a high degree of integrity and sense of purpose. We open a new window, “window of innovation” where we put technology at the core of our field and help our students to build that ‘tech gap’ which will help them to challenge the ever-advancing technology.

A decade ago, “I am an Engineer” was something very rare to hear. But today, with the growing literate population and education facilities, it is said that “I am ALSO an Engineer”. Due to a huge crowd opting for an engineer’s degree, very few achieve what they aim. In this competitive world with shortage of jobs most of the engineers end up doing low profile jobs which is a disgrace to their degree and hard work. We see a lot of engineers taking up jobs at BPO sectors, banks, or doing support jobs, or other odd jobs.

If you are an engineer too, help yourself discover the potential in you,  Become an achiever with a few steps after your degree.

Below mentioned are some ideas that will help you do justice to  your degree.

Go for a Masters Degree -

Make it an “A++” with higher studies.

A degree after graduation is nothing but more power to you. If engineering is your passion then pursuing higher education in your subject is highly recommended. A postgrad degree is always given a lot of preference for higher positions at companies.

Masters in Business Administration -

MBA is quite a rage these days. If you are more inclined towards corporate world rather than a core engineering profile then MBA is just the best for you. Many top engineering colleges in Maharashtra offer MBA courses. One such college is AVCOE, Sangamner

It also offers different branches in MBA such as

• Marketing Management (MKT)
• Financial Management (FIN)
• Human Resources Management (HR)
• Information Technology Management (IT)
• Operations Management (OPE)
• International Business Management (IB)
• Supply Chain Management (SCM)
• Rural & Agribusiness Management (RABM)
• Family Business Management (FBM)

The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is a world famous space research and development organization formed on independence day, 1969 by Dr.Vikram Sarabhai. Engineers have played a key role in research & development at ISRO & have been a huge part of its achievements.  Engineers like P. Kunhikrishnan; S. Somnath; Tapan Mishra, and many more are a major part of success at ISRO. ISRO now recruits bulk of engineers in the field of mechanics, electrical, and computer science for research and development every year.

In this blog, we further mention ways that could help you be a part of your dream job at ISRO.

ISRO: Achievements that made india proud!

1. ISRO launched 104 satellites in a single flight:

Sending 104 satellites in one go gave India a great competitive edge. On 15 February, 2017 ISRO made India proud by launching 104 satellites in one flight. It helped us in emerging as a competitive candidate in space commercial market and gaining reputation globally for its effective yet low cost mission. This mission also attracted many countries and organizations to launch their satellite via ISRO.

2.  Mangalyaan or Mom, 2014 -

India became the first country to reach the red planet successfully in its first attempt. When it comes to low cost satellite mission, ISRO is the best option because of its popular ‘Mars Mission’. Mangalyaan mission was operated in a low cost amount of INR.450 cr. which is cheaper than an eight lane bridge in Mumbai. The success of mangalyaan helped India in growing financially because of the international investments made by many countries in India after the launch and success of mangalyaan.

3. Chandrayaan 1,2008-

Chandrayaan is India's first lunar probe. It lifted off on 21st october, 2008 and it mapped about 95% of the moon's surface. The most significant result from chandrayaan was presence of water on moon.

Working at ISRO is a achievement in itself because of its well known and commendable achievements. ISRO has many career opportunities for engineers.

Well if you are an engineer and dream to be a part of ISRO, the below information will guide you to your dream goal.

“Stepping stones that will eventually lead to being a part of ISRO someday-
