Next Generation User Skills Report
The Next Generation User Skills Report was jointly commissioned by Digital 20/20, the regional digital skills partnership for Yorkshire and Humber, and the Scottish Qualifications Authority.
It focused on the vision for ICT user skills in 2013 – referenced as ‘Next Generation User Skills’ – taking account of:
- Skills that all employers will need, which they may not currently recognise – including web presence, information productivity, market research, infrastructure management.
- Skills that people (especially young people) will already have, but which may not be recognised or accredited.
- Generic occupational skills that people will need – such as remote working, online communication, information research, lifelong learning and, not least, management of their digital environment.
- Essential skills for living and learning in a digital age – including communication, accessing public services and underpinning personal econfidence.
You can find out more and download the report on the Next Generation User Skills 2008 survey page. Survey results from 2009 are coming soon.
