We need all staff and students’
to acquire the digital skills and
capabilities for living, learning
and working in a digital world
• Graduate work is being transformed by digital
technologies and data
(IPPR 2017: Managing automation)
• Employers focus above all on the attitudes
and aptitudes that will enable graduates to be
effective in the workplace (CBI/Pearson
Education and Skills Survey 2017)
• Only 12 per cent of leaders believe UK school
leavers and graduates have the right digital
skills, down from 20 per cent who said the
same in 2017. (Deloitte, 2018)
• 38% of workplaces in Europe report that a
lack of digital skills is harming their business
(European Commission 2017: ‘Human capital:
Europe’s Digital Progress Report 2017

We all know that world is changing and is increasingly digital, the working landscapes are similarly changing, with an expectation that 90% of jobs will have a digital element within the next 2 decades. Both keynotes at our Digifest conference this month yesterday referenced digital skills as the fourth literacy – no longer an option not to engage.
And we now need to prepare learners for a future that may look very different from today – with jobs that don’t currently exist and multiple careers as the norm, and the only constant is change. Transferable and lifelong learning skills are increasingly critical in this environment. One recent study suggested that “The greatest challenge students need to be prepared for through higher education institutions is be the continuous need for ‘adaption through learning’ in changing work environments.” Delphi
Students expectations of their educational experiences are also changing – our student panel at Digifest highlighted that they see digital as a way of getting ahead in a competitive job market..
BUT we also know that there is a digital skills gap.
To be employable in the modern world we need to develop students as digitally capable lifelong learners – And we need to go further, in developing digital entrepreneurs that can help shape their future employment.
17 jobs, 5 careers (Australian futurologist Mark Mcrindle). The only constant is change.

Jisc’s Building digital capability service provides:
Our Discovery tool, an empowering first step for staff and students to reflect on their digital capabilities. It will help them identify current strengths and areas for development. On completion, your staff and students will receive a personalised report with suggested next steps and links to free resources that can help them develop further. And new this year, you can add your own training resources.
For leaders, our organisational models set out what a digitally capable organisation might look like, and provide a step by step approach to help you wherever you are on your journey. Data dashboards provide a picture of how your staff and students feel about their digital skills and where further training may be beneficial.
Our service website helps you to find practical advice and guidance, whether you are interested in your own (or your students) development, are supporting others or are leading change.
Our community of practice is the place for staff and leaders to share experiences and spark ideas. Subscribing to the service will provide you with 2 priority places per organisation at each of our twice yearly events.
If you’re looking for more, our range of discounted training courses take you further and provide the support that you and your staff might need
We also offer expert consultancy to help you achieve your goals
