Description
Human capital management is one of the most important aspects of the booming economies in the current scenario. However, a problem faced over the last decade is the lack of skilful employees required by the industries in the changing market trends. The World is rapidly progressing with innovation and technological advancements from time to time. Our young graduates need to gear up and gain momentum to match the ever-changing needs of the new business models. The biggest challenge in many countries is recruiting skilful resources, resulting in a recent Talent crunch and another important problem is a shortage of entrepreneurs. When these issues are discussed, it is very important to bridge the gap and make the path to success clear by transforming human capital into skilful capital, which could be achieved by redesigning the curriculum and tailoring it to integrate academic knowledge with industry interface. This paper is an attempt to highlight the importance of Curriculum design in improving the skills for employability and entrepreneurship among students to bridge the gap between the industry, job seekers and the role of educational institutions in building an individual's employability and growth, as they are the prime sources of skills and knowledge. 2025 selection and editorial matter, Kennedy Andrew Thomas, Joseph Chacko Chennattuserry and Joseph Varghese Kureethara; individual chapters, the contributors.
