26% of Indian Youth Aspiring to Become YouTubers: Vodafone India

Vodafone India today announced the launch of an international future jobs programme ‘what will you be?’ to provide career guidance and access to training content in the digital economy for up to 5 million youth in India and 10 million young people across 18 countries by 2022. Vodafone says that this digital skills and jobs initiative is the largest of its kind in the world. As part of this initiative, Vodafone has developed an online platform, namely, Future Jobs Finder, which is accessible to all youth for career guidance, access to relevant training and search meaningful jobs in the digital economy globally. The first step in the Future Jobs Finder is a series of quick psychometric tests designed to identify each individual’s aptitudes and interests and then map these to the most appropriate job category in the digital economy.

In the second step, the individual is directed to specific job opportunities in their chosen location. Users can also access relevant online digital skills training on this platform, where several courses are available free of cost. On completing the tests, users also receive a summary of their skills and interests that can be used on their C.V. or in a job application.

Vodafone also stated that it has worked with specialist psychologists, careers advisers and training providers to develop a smartphone-based service – called the Future Jobs Finder (https://futurejobsfinder.vodafone.com/) – that offers young people a simple but comprehensive gateway to new skills and opportunities for employment in the digital economy.
