This podcast is sponsored by the Digital Skills Organisation.

The DSO is championing an employer-led, skills-based approach to digital literacy. Our offering is designed to support future-proofing the country, growing jobs, supporting our economic growth and ensuring that Australia remains a global leader in digital. If we are to equip our workforce with the skills to meet a rapidly changing, technological future, we need a new approach. We’re working in collaboration with employers, trainers and employees. Their involvement is vital. We believe it’s a better way to create consistent journey pathways and build relevant digital skills. We define the problem this way - digital skills training must:

Create value both internally and externally.
Improve customer experience.
Build operational capabilities.

To deliver on these objectives we need to strengthen Australia’s digital workforce. It’s that simple.
