##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Abstract
Life is a cycle, what goes up, comes back. This is much experienced by this generation of students in their early part of life, preparing for a flexible adaptation for the evolving future. This paper aims to review research publications in educational and industrial settings that envisage making the students and teachers to benefit from the effort yielded knowledge and skills through online learning. Online learning, also known as e-learning has propped up the evolution of virtual universities to make educational experiences become customized to the needs of the students as well as for institutions which wanted to come out with new courses that are of demand in the employment market. Investment in skills is likely to have a positive effect on productivity levels and growth rates. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruption to the education system and to workplace training. On the basis of experience of previous recessions, the most immediate impacts of the lockdown of the education system and the reduction in output in sectors such as hospitality, are likely to be felt by young people. In turn they are at risk of longer-term ‘scarring’ if subject to prolonged unemployment.
