Abstract
The Global Gender Gap Report 2023 of the World Economic Forum suggests that women’s skills are not always in line with the ‘professions of the future’ in South Asia region. With the objective of bridging the gap between the job market expectations and the skill sets of graduating girl students in SA region, a pilot project was implemented for training female students in emerging areas of S&T supported by Asi@Connect Project of European Union. We present the outcome of this innovative project.
