The Coursera report shows that machine learning was the most acquired skill among Indians in 2021 and most engineers are not employable.
Many sectors are aggressively embracing new age technologies such as machine learning, creating new job opportunities — however, there is a huge skills gap across the industry. According to Aspiring Minds’ annual employment survey, 80 per cent of Indian engineers are unfit for jobs in knowledge economics. Only 2.5 percent of them have artificial intelligence (AI) technical skills that the industry needs. According to the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs 2020, AI and machine learning specialists, data analysts and data scientists are playing job roles. Therefore, graduates and professionals are interested in exploring the domain and acquiring specialized skills. Stanford University’s ‘Machine Learning’ course is the most popular course on the platform.
In addition to machine learning, Foundations: Data, Data, Everywhere Google’s course is a popular choice among students for acquiring skills such as data visualization, data analysis, data cleaning, SQL, and data processing.
Mental health is very important for a person’s ability to live a full life. In addition to acquiring technical skills, students are enrolled in courses that teach happiness and wellness. The role of the science and psychology of wellness at Yale University is extremely popular.
