Description

This project will support work by the Department for Education (DfE) to introduce a legal entitlement to basic digital skills training from 2020, similar to the legal entitlements already in place for English and maths. The entitlement will be funded through the Adult Education Budget (AEB). Adults will have the opportunity to undertake improved digital courses based on new national standards.
This research seeks to develop a baseline to determine the capability of the basic digital skills workforce to deliver the new basic digital skills entitlement. This project will use existing workforce data, as well as conduct qualitative case studies, to obtain a better understanding in this area. It will identify any skills gaps amongst the workforce, and inform any support for the workforce that may be available.
