How will India cope with the increasing numbers and the demands of industry, customers and the economy? How will India recognize and develop the right talent? How will India derive the maximum benefit from the new technologies of skills assessment and development? This international conference, brought together experts and experienced practitioners from India and the UK. They shared knowledge, best practice and experience of how to leverage the new tools and techniques of e-Assessment to cost effectively and efficiently identify, evaluate and develop talent and potential.
