Abstract
Technology is the defining
buzzword of the 21st century. Our
smartphones and tablets have
made quantum leaps in usability
and transformed our lives. One
major domino effect of technology
is being felt in the education
and training sector. With its multiplier
effect, technology can become
a mighty social leveller, creating
access and success for all.
Melding new technology with existing
infrastructure to create
click-and-mortar platforms can
empower the current generation
with job-ready skills. Technology
deployment for skill development
can lead to lower costs, higher
quality, and greater reach, while
reducing the burden on physical
infrastructure. Social innovations
are blooming in a world that has
become a global village due to the
collapse of geographical and temporal
boundaries. Learning by
doing is the new mantra for vocational
education and skill development.
