SUL Digital Unions Project Talk About Digital Participation

There are about one million adults in Scotland who lack basic digital skills, yet 90% of all jobs now require these skills and it is estimated that 35% of current jobs in the UK could become automated over the next 20 years.

Digital skills have become an essential element of the Scottish Union Learning Everyday Skills programme, and we have been awarded a second year of short-term funding from Scottish Government to deliver the digital skills project. The project will enable unions to further develop workplace learning opportunities around digital skills, encourage greater employer engagement, and subsequently lead to an overall increase in digital participation in Scotland, in line with Scottish Government strategy.
