Welcome to IBM SkillsBuild with Edunet Foundation
In the next three years, nearly 120 million workers in the world’s 10 largest economies may need to be reskilled as businesses adopt artificial intelligence and intelligent automation technologies. It is important that the current and future workforce are provided with relevant opportunities to reskills and upskill themselves to keep up with the demands of the industry. SkillsBuild presents a unique opportunity for all learners worldwide to meet their demands of learning. SkillsBuild is an online learning platform designed to help learners to learn and acquire technical and professional skills required to excel in Industry. The courses are being designed by experts across the globe and present an opportunity for learners to earn certificates, work on real-world projects and get industry mentorships.
According to a recent McKinsey Global Institute report, more than 375 million workers may need to completely change their skill sets by the year 2030. This would happen because of newer technologies such as digitization, AI (artificial intelligence) and automation disrupting the world of work. As a result, a number of employees are focusing to pursue additional degrees and certifications in these technologies, either through self-finance or by taking loan for short term courses.
Edunet Foundation has been the IBM partner for SkillsBuild since the inception of the program in India in March 2020 and has been instrumental in mobilizing learners, training and supporting a network of NGO and government partners to enable their learners on platform. Edunet Foundation continues to be the anchor partner for all the NGO network of SkillsBuild and supports IBM to manage the partnerships and metrics in the program.

I was a student at an engineering college in India. After 3 and a half years years of learning computer science academically, I now had a chance to test my knowledge in the real world through an internship Lucky for me, I was assigned a live project. Then I got to know about GitHub, but I used it as a safe storage place for my code. I used the GitHub desktop app to commit all changes on the master branch.

An internship is a proven way to build up our resume. I learned how to introduce myself, talk about my interest, knowledge and skills improvements. Professional communications, subject depth knowledge and the able to work independently with the little guidance is very important in working world Potential employers will focus on the skills and experience I gained during this internship.
Stay vigilant against potential scams involving individuals posing as representatives of the ‘Edunet Foundation.’ Legitimate internships with us are free and require no payment. If you’re asked for money in exchange for an internship opportunity, it’s a scam. We advise caution and immediate reporting of any suspicious communication claiming to be from us.”
