The importance of tackling the digital skills gap
House of Commons released a publication explaining that “…the digital skills gap is estimated to cost the UK economy £63 billion per year.”
Because of the hard turn into digital advancements, the training for individuals within these specialist areas is somewhat scarce. Now that more jobs are digitally focused, individuals must adapt their skillsets.
However, this isn’t a “one size fits all” type of situation. Many adult-age workers have little to no experience with digital advancements, which can cause stress within the workforce.
This is why it is paramount to help our workforce to upskill and gain the valuable abilities to adapt and thrive in their business.
What are Fareport doing?
Fareport have signed the charter, and we are at the forefront of this initiative. We believe that it is vital to ensure that workers are given the opportunity to attain the necessary skills to help those transition into the digital age.
We understand that it can be a challenge for businesses to support growth into these abilities. Which is why we want to reinforce our support with FutureDotNow and their initiatives. We are helping to lead the way.
As an independent training provider, we are proud to show our initiative to narrow the Digital Skills gap. We hope that more independent providers will also sign the charter and support the many businesses in offering tailored digital skills training to those who will benefit.
