YuppTV and Millionlights partner to upgrade skills and foster employablity
In India, youth in the age group of 15-29 constitute 27.5 per cent of the population. It is expected that by 2020, the median age will be 28 as against 38 years for the United States, 42 years for China and as high as 48 years for Japan. The challenge before the country is to empower its huge youth population to bring about transformational changes to ensure progress, prosperity and peace. This would involve providing the right education, the necessary skills to make them employable and empowering them to become entrepreneurs.
It is with this objective that Millionlights, a leading India-based Ed-tech platform offers higher education, skilling and vocational courses on its web portal, its dedicated TV channel and the OTT platforms.
Millionlights, today announced a collaboration with Yupp TV to offer their premium education and skills curriculum and industry backed certification to all the learners including students, developers and IT professionals to help them advance their skills and prepare for jobs in today’s digital world. Besides enrolling on the Millionlights portal www.millionlights.org, participants can also experience learning through the Millionlights exclusive TV channel on Yupp TV
