upGrad management programmeWhile unemployment is a perennial problem our country is dealing with, the effects of Covid-19 on one’s career progression and job security have only made it worse.

Unemployment in India was already high at about 7.5% to 8% even before the lockdown came into effect, however, the latest estimate according to the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy (CMIE) marks it at an alarming rate of 24.6%.

Adding to this, the extended nationwide lockdown has resulted in job cuts and unprecedented layoffs across sectors, with 27 million youth in the age group of 20-30 years losing their jobs in just April 2020, as per CMIE.

According to a LinkedIn survey, a quarter of the Indian workforce (25%) have reported a decrease in incomes as well.

Mayank Kumar, Co-founder and MD, upGrad said March-April is usually considered as the hiring and appraisals season; however, April 2020 has infamously become the layoff season.

Leading firms across industries have been announcing layoffs, salary cuts, and are implementing cost-cutting measures by giving preference to retain existing employees than diving into the hiring process.

This has made landing a promising job close to impossible for the next 6 months, stirring panic among graduates who haven’t even begun their careers yet, said Mayank

Therefore, in such crucial times, we are reaching out to college graduates in the remotest corners of India, thereby motivating them to make use of the free time to upskill and prepare themselves for a post COVID-19 world, he said.
