During 2024, more than 40 cross-sector partners are working together to deliver specific action to close the workforce digital skills gap.
FutureDotNow has worked with partners in industry, government and civil society to develop the 2024 delivery plan to close the workforce digital skills gap, first launched in the Roadmap Update in January 2024.
Across three action areas (Strategy, Employer Action and Culture) and seven workstreams, it sets out specific and measurable goals for 2024, to be delivered across three sprints of activity.
The delivery plan and these workstreams are now in progress, with dozens of cross- sector organisations working together to close the workforce digital skills gap.
Sprint 1 of activity took place from January-March and Sprint 2 will run throughout June and July. You can find out about our achievements and ambitions for each of the action areas below.
