NEW DELHI: In order to ensure a future ready workforce, all Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) will soon introduce the curriculum “AI for All,” aimed at building awareness on Artificial Intelligence (AI). A new curriculum is to be designed for comprehensive understanding of AI, its history and principles as well as understand the types of AI. In addition to this, learners can also explore the use of AI and Generative AI tools in creating various digital contents and in education.
To implement this an MoU has been exchanged between the Directorate General of Training (DGT) and Future Right Skills Network (FRSN) was exchanged, in the presence of union education and skill development minister, Dharmendra Pradhan.
According to Pradhan, the curriculum aims to initiate the journey into AI by fostering awareness, with a focus on bridging the gap between industry requirements and academic offerings and is a crucial in aligning academic programmes with the evolving needs of industries. The minister added, “For new entrants in the job market skilling is critical and for ones who are already working, reskilling and upskilling is critical. We are in a disruptive era. Whoever is able to see it and tries to understand this, will remain relevant.”
FRSN is a collaborative effort of QUEST Alliance, Accenture, Cisco, JP Morgan, and SAP Labs India. This initiative aims to empower up to 2.5 million learners across 15,000 ITI’s, equipping them with essential future skills such as digital literacy, green mindsets, problem-solving, critical thinking and workplace readiness among others.
Aakash Sethi, CEO, Quest Alliance said: “…We also ensure that the learners understand and discuss the ethical considerations and responsible use of AI.”
The agreement outlines a comprehensive framework for collaboration to work in four broad areas: curriculum and assessment to build employability skills, trainer development, women and work, and integration of future skills such as Green and AI.
