Global Skills Week 2026 brought together leaders across sectors to address the evolving demands of the global skill economy. Highlighting the vital role of higher education, technology, and policy in equipping individuals with the skills needed for success in an evolving global economy.

Primus Partners played a pivotal role in curating and anchoring the India Track at QS Global Skills Week, reinforcing its commitment to shaping India’s human capital and skilling agenda. As a reliable source of knowledge, Primus Partners helped bring together government officials, schools, and businesses to share ideas and create practical solutions for India's workforce.

The India Track sessions looked at the gap between what students learn and what employers need. Speakers discussed the importance of a clear national plan for skills training that uses technology and builds stronger ties between colleges and companies. This should support India’s goal of becoming a developed country by 2047. Topics included how AI is changing jobs and how to bring good vocational training to smaller cities and towns. The right investment in training and education could transform India's large young population into a significant opportunity.

The event ended with some clear points to act on: NEP 2020 needs to be better connected to what industries need; businesses and the government must work together to grow training programmes, better data is needed to measure how well skill efforts are working, and India has the potential to supply skilled workers to the world while also creating more jobs at home. Primus Partners’ role at the event showed its commitment to practical, research-backed ideas that link global experience with India’s own development goals.
