It is essential that in the drive to equip tomorrow’s workforce with the tools they need for the future, we ensure that both digital and soft skills are prioritised. According to the World Economic Forum, the top 10 skills most desired by employers by 2020 are all soft skills, including problem solving, critical thinking and creativity. So in the drive to get employees up to speed with digital literacy and fluency, it’s also important that these softer skills are not forgotten about.

This whitepaper will provide an overview of the digital and soft skills landscape, what needs to be done to plug the gaps and offer practical advice on how to evaluate an organisation’s learning provision and make appropriate changes.
