Place-based action communities will raise profile of workforce digital skills e.g. via Metropolitan mayors, local authorities etc. They will:

  • Raise awareness of the essential digital skill gap in their region and the opportunity to be realised through concerted action
  • Inspire and encourage action to help people of working age to build solid digital foundations
  • Work together as part of the national change programme to supercharge local action on workforce digital skills
  • Review asks and priorities

In 2025, we will aim to stand up at least two local action communities.

As a charity, FutureDotNow operates in England and Wales. This doesn’t prevent similar action in Scotland and Northern Ireland but it won’t be prioritised.
