Addressing the digital skills gap
A spotlight on digital skills
Digital Skills has recently been highlighted as a focus area for all regions, as a result of a skills gap analysis in Mayoral Combined Authorities (MCAs) and Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs).
The government launched the Digital Strategy in 2017 with one of the focus areas being on ensuring people have the digital skills they need, preventing digital exclusion. You can read more about this here.
Digital Skills have also been reviewed due to a change in funding through AEB: “Adults will have the opportunity to undertake improved digital courses based on new national standards setting out the digital skills people need to get on in life and work. The new entitlement will be funded through the national Adult Education Budget (AEB).” More information on the government’s commitment to improving adult’s basic digital skills can be found here
