In 2025, FutureDotNow is convening cross-sector leaders to deliver the action required to close the workforce digital skills gap.
Delivering this large-scale social change requires a clear vision and a bold plan. FutureDotNow is focused on designing approaches that reach people at scale.
This year, we are pursuing four strategic priorities. 2024 saw significant progress, so we’re continuing what works. And we’re testing new routes to help people build digital skills for work.
Getting involved
To deliver the 2025 plan, we’re convening dozens of experts from across our coalition to help deliver specific pieces of the puzzle. If you’d like to be involved in any aspect of closing the workforce digital skills gap, you can register your interest here.
