Digital Strategy to make Britain the best place in the world to start and grow a digital business
Culture Secretary launches Digital Strategy set to create a world-leading digital economy that works for everyone.
Skills, infrastructure and innovation at the heart of new strategy to support Britain’s world-leading digital economy
Includes a new Digital Skills Partnership and bold new pledges for millions of free digital training opportunities
Backs the UK digital sectors to invest for the long term and includes measures to help all businesses harness the productivity benefits of digital innovation
More than four million free digital skills training opportunities will be created as part of a Digital Strategy to make Britain the best place in the world to start and grow a digital business and ensure our digital economy works for everyone.
A pioneering new Digital Skills Partnership will see Government, business, charities and voluntary organisations coming together to make sure people have the right skills for the jobs in their area and are aware of all the digital training opportunities on offer. This Government-led initiative will help both businesses and individuals and make sure no one is left behind.
The strategy includes new commitments, including a plan by Lloyds Banking Group to give face-to-face digital skills training to 2.5 million individuals, charities and small and medium businesses by 2020; plans by Barclays to teach basic coding to 45,000 more children and assist up to one million people with general digital skills and cyber awareness; and a pledge by Google, as part of their commitment of five hours of free digital skills for everyone, to help boost digital skills in seaside towns.
It is part of the Government’s ambitions to ensure everyone has the skills they need to flourish in a digitally-driven economy.
