In Nepal’s rapidly evolving job market, companies are struggling with one major challenge: skills gap. While businesses are expanding, technology is advancing, and customer expectations are rising, the workforce often doesn’t have the right skills to keep up. This is where upskilling and reskilling become essential.
But the question is which should Nepali companies prioritize?
Let’s break it down.
What is Upskilling?
Upskilling means helping employees learn new skills that make them better at their current jobs.
Examples in Nepal:
- A graphic designer learning motion graphics.
- A recruiter learning AI-based hiring tools.
- A salesperson improving data analytics skills.
Why Upskilling Matters:
- Boosts productivity
- Enhances performance
- Improves employee satisfaction
- Reduces small skill gaps within existing roles
- What is Reskilling?
Reskilling means training employees to take on an entirely different role usually because the company’s needs are changing.
