Deploy DPIs to build skilling infra: Ficci-EY

A skilling passport, a centralised registry and work experiences of professionals across India are examples of digital public infrastructures (DPIs) the industry can leverage to create a robust skilling ecosystem, according to report released by Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (Ficci) in collaboration with Ernst & Young (EY).

The report titled 'Future of Jobs in India 3.0' was launched on the inaugural day of the Global Skills Summit. It noted that a centralised registry will streamline the process of skill verification and recognition, ensuring all relevant information is accessible in one place. "Some of the registries can be labour registry, migrant workers' registry, informal workers' registry, MSME registry, among others. These registries can be integrated with other systems to ensure uniqueness of records and accurate information and can have use cases, such as skilling and job assistance, insurance schemes, training and skilling, pensions, loans and women centric schemes," the report said.
