Helping organisations to upskill
Organisations are transforming their workforces to drive productivity, innovation and growth. Upskilling is key. It’s about anticipating the right skills for the future, laying the cultural foundation, delivering modern upskilling programmes, and building a learning and development function with the right EdTech to deliver a vastly better return on upskilling investment. Find out how we can help you upskill.
Collaborating to support communities and youth
The need for new skills goes much further than our own business. We aim to help millions of people around the world improve their understanding, skills and knowledge for the digital world. The transition to net zero is also transforming our economies and our societies, requiring new skills in many different sectors. That’s why we are collaborating with others to tackle the challenge.

Working together with businesses, governments and institutions
Solutions to the upskilling challenge need to be developed at the local, regional and national level; no one organisation can do this alone. Government leaders and policymakers need to enable citizens to participate and thrive in a future workforce, while also driving the discussion on the future of technology and regulation. Institutions, such as those that make up the education system, need to digitally transform themselves and — at the same time — provide services that are fit for the future.
PwC’s digital transformation journey
PwC recognised that as we continued to evolve as a business, we had to upskill our global workforce. So we set out on a mission to change the way we work, while creating space for our people to learn, build, and scale innovation.
Our journey to become a digital business doesn’t stop there though. We are a human-led and tech-powered network. We are equipping our people with new skills, digital tools and capabilities to be successful in the future and helping clients solve their most challenging issues. Find out more
