Abstract

Technology is growing by leaps and bounds throughout the world, and with the advent of new technologies almost every moment and the simultaneous outdating and updating of the existing technologies, many working professionals and students find it difficult in keeping themselves continuously relevant in the ever-changing and demanding job market, which also leads to increased unemployment and job dropouts. This also presents a peculiar problem since even with high unemployment reported, there are also reports of several vacancies going unfilled, and now in the digital age, with online learning gaining foothold and acceptance everywhere, some may find it hard to acknowledge the simultaneous existence of both. Our project tries to solve this particular problem by trying to bridge the gap between both paradoxical situations and present an adaptive, community-driven, skill-based approach to empower the students and working professionals alike to face the dynamic and complex sounding job market .
