The DPC will facilitate the development of a workforce with
the skills and tools necessary to ensure long-term access to
digital collections and will encourage the proliferation and
diversity of training necessary to that purpose.
It will provide tangible benefits to members in the form of
training and will support those who provide quality-assured
training in digital preservation which is relevant to the needs
of members’ workforces. It will support those colleges and
universities which seek to develop curricula in digital
preservation and provide authoritative labour market
