Support your learners to progress to further learning or employment
The need to eliminate digital exclusion and encourage adults to become digitally competent has never been more important. With the pandemic acting as a catalyst to highlight changes required in how individuals function within educational settings, the employment landscape, and everyday life.
Improving the availability of digital skills will help individuals and opens careers in interesting and sustainable jobs, as well as enabling adults to thrive in more traditional non-digital roles.
30% of skill-shortage vacancies involve a lack of basic digital skills (for example, Microsoft Office and use of digital applications) which are now required for a majority of occupations, traditional or otherwise. By making digital skills accessible to all adults, this will ensure that the existing workforce is upskilled and better equip to contribute to modern society and the economy.
