The 2020 Indian Engineers will look dramatically different from their predecessors of even 10 years ago. It is safe to say that no other era could have possibly seen the level of disruption and dynamic shifts that the engineering graduates are witnessing today.
While the ecosystem, products and services are evolving at a rapid pace, Indian engineers are still struggle to access global opportunities at scale. So, what are the skillsets that Indian engineers need to keep in mind to be part of the future workforce? Here are some tips collected from more than 30,000+ engineers, partnering with some of the best tech companies across the world:
SOFT SKILLS
While the Indian education system focusses on academic learning, most institutions do not focus on soft skills.
From speaking in public forums to interacting with members across teams, these become key for engineers to become productive assets for their teams. Engineers grow to become versatile managers and interpersonal skills play an essential role.
LIVE PROJECTS
This is one of the most crucial elements that engineers need to integrate. Going beyond theoretical learning and working on live applications to solve problems, is key for honing the skills. From seeding an idea of building technology, it requires one to do practical application of their knowledge.
DYNAMIC TEAMS
Remote workforces are slowly becoming a popular way for companies to scale. Remote working and working with cross-functional teams across the company have become essential skills. From using tech tools to working with other teams across verticals on regular projects is a great way to integrate learning.
