About Quest 2 Learn
#Quest2Learn is a knowledge, innovation and organisational learning initiative at Quest Alliance. We bring together critical stakeholders from the training and education ecosystem across India and the world to share good practices and insights, engage in dialogue, analyse new trends in learning, validate approaches, and build on new ideas around the education-skills divide.
In response to the COVID-19 global pandemic, this year Quest2Learn is hosting these conversations virtually. Through a series of webinars and virtual engagements, we aim to catalyse new perspectives and solutions co-created with the community — together contributing to thought leadership on THE FUTURE OF WORK AND LEARNING.
THIS YEAR, WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
Inclusive, equitable education for lifelong learning
Reform of the Industrial Training Institutes
Gender and progress from training to workplace
The role of artificial intelligence (AI)
New transformations in the world of work
PUBLICATIONS
As part of Quest 2 Learn, we launch research-based publications about critical issues in school-to-work transition, consolidating effective solutions and strategies working on the ground.
The publications also offer new ideas and policy recommendations to practitioners on how to take advantage of local and global opportunities to resolve common challenges.
