Employability skills

Those not in employment are more than twice as likely to lack digital skills needed for work.

Having digital skills is essential for individuals who are seeking employment. Lloyds UK Consumer Digital Index 2023

Many members of the National Digital Inclusion Network support people looking for work and some of these people don't have the digital skills they need to search and apply for work online, as well as those needed in the workplace.

These resources will help that work, aiding your support of jobseekers and enabling partnership work with your local Jobcentre Plus and more.
