Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan launched four-year undergraduate programs in all state universities, emphasizing a shift towards skill development, practical learning, and student-designed curriculum. The reforms aim to modernize the higher education sector and ensure relevance to evolving knowledge and employment landscapes.
The long-standing belief that making oneself indispensable in the workplace guarantees job security is flawed. Even highly valued individuals, such as Steve Jobs and celebrities like Oprah and Madonna, have experienced layoffs. The rise of technology and economic pressures emphasize that few employees are truly irreplaceable. Rather than focusing on becoming indispensable, individuals should continuously enhance their skills and embrace new opportunities to stay competitive and adapt to changing job markets. By developing technical proficiency, soft skills, and a willingness to learn, employees can increase their value and make themselves valuable across their careers.
