Employment in Margin : Unlocking Hidden Workforce Potential

Time: August 30, 2025 at 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Venues: Venue 3 - Skills Bay Format: Panel Discussion

This session shines a spotlight on underserved and underrepresented segments of the population—such as women returning to work, persons with disabilities, tribal communities, senior citizens, and those from remote rural areas—who often remain excluded from mainstream employment. As the world of work evolves, so must our frameworks for inclusion. Experts will explore innovative skilling models, policy interventions, and community-led initiatives that bridge these gaps and enable meaningful employment. The session aims to reimagine workforce participation by bringing the margins to the center of the skill development discourse.
