Women’s participation in upskilling platforms microscopic

A Centre for Talent Innovation report says that almost 91% of women want to return to work, but around 40 to 45 % cannot find suitable opportunities. A recent survey by JobsforHer reiterates that outdated skills were one of the biggest deterrents. 61% of female professionals find better career opportunities after reskilling.

On Scaler Academy, an upskilling platform, the male-to-female ratio was 90:10 in March 2020, which now, in February 2021, stands at 80:20. Factors like lack of resources, family support, career guidance and a supportive ecosystem can drastically affect the numbers.

CMEPEDIA offers asynchronous online courses to facilitate reskilling at a suitable time.
