Overview
Digital capability is no longer optional—it’s a core life skill, as vital as maths and English. Whether it’s managing everyday online tasks or thriving in a fast-changing workplace, learners need the confidence and skills to succeed in a digital world.
This interactive webinar will:
- Demystify the digital skills landscape—exploring why digital capability is now central to employability, inclusion and lifelong learning.
- Clarify EDS and DFSQs—understanding how they connect, and what this means for your delivery.
- Provide practical strategies—showing how to embed digital skills seamlessly across programmes, from adult education to apprenticeships.
- Connect digital to sustainability and progression—highlighting how building capability supports Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and learner futures.
You’ll leave with clear, actionable ideas to strengthen your organisation’s digital skills offer—and to better equip your learners to live, work and progress with confidence.
