Today’s Jobs and Tomorrow’s: The importance of Centering Digital Equity

Digital transformation is changing where, how, and when we work and learn, as well as the skills needed for economic advancement. Use of digital tools extends across all industries, and the tools workers are expected to use change frequently Today, over 90% of jobs require digital skills, yet nearly a third of all workers lack foundational digital skills, much less the advanced skills and digital resilience required for high-wage careers. Digital equity—access to the internet and devices as well as digital skills—is an essential component of equitable economic advancement. Employers, educators, and policymakers all play a role in ensuring that everyone is able to participate fully in work, learning, and civic life. This session will highlight the critical importance of digital skills for all learners and workers.
