The rapid growth of our digital society creates interesting jobs and entrepreneurial opportunities. Digital technologies offer young people exciting new ways of learning and connecting.
Yet, with the widening digital divide, many are excluded from these developments. There is a global shortage of people with analytical, creative and digital skills. Unfortunately, many initiatives aimed at bridging this gap by introducing computer centres and digital platforms into schools fail. Although the Education & Training sector should be the catalyst for digital skills adoption, global research indicates that this crucial sector shows the biggest digital skills gap.
Are you invested in bridging the Digital Divide? Do you want to grow young people’s 21st-century skills to strengthen the workforce and drive innovation?
