Two reports about the current and future demand for digital skills at work have been published by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). Â
The first report, ‘No Longer Optional : Employer Demand for Digital Skills’ looks at the current demand for digital skills (analysing over nine million online digital job vacancies). The report paints a vivid picture of demand across the country and shows that at least 82% of advertised openings require some level of digital skills.Â
The second report, ‘What digital skills do workers need to succeed in the workforce in the next ten years? London: DCMS’, argues that digital skills should not be looked at in isolation from other skills, pointing to a need for ‘21st century skills’, especially interpersonal skills, cognitive competencies and learning strategies with creative use of digital skills becoming increasingly important.
