This Digital Skills Toolkit enables policymakers and influencers to work strategically in building the bridge between new digital job opportunities and the lack of digital skills in the workforce.
It addresses the many complexities of devising and advancing digital skills at policy level. It maps out how digital skills take their place within a wider framework of soft, twenty-first century skills. It offers clear guidance on bringing together – and leading – different stakeholders and moving forward under one clear and focused framework. The toolkit’s outstanding strength is its hands-on, how-to practicality and its grounding in experience from around the world. In addition to offering tools that convert complexity to manageable tasks, the toolkit brims with real-life examples of ambitious projects and programmes that impress and inspire. In Bangladesh, women in rural areas are learning mobile app and web de-sign and providing freelance services at home and abroad.
