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.
