PwC's Digital Transformation Journey
Evolving as we build trust and deliver more inspired and sustained outcomes.
New world.
New skills.
Everyone should be able to live, learn, work and participate in the digital world.
Providing free interactive curriculum to educators
As part of our commitment to close the digital divide, we’re committed to bringing resources to educators and students that may not otherwise have access to them. We’ve collaborated with Code.org to create a technology skills curriculum for students.
The curriculum is composed of easy-to-follow lesson plans accompanied by engaging activities on topics such as cybersecurity, data analytics, web and app development and internet of things. It helps students make connections between technology topics they might be interested in and potential careers in those areas.
Navigating the new world of virtual work
We’re social and collaborative beings by nature. But collaborating through a screen isn’t exactly natural. From leading and managing virtual teams to technology considerations and working virtually with customers, we explore the essentials of remote working.
Learn moreOur jobs are changing, and fast.
Many roles are disappearing altogether, while new ones are springing up from nowhere. It’s estimated that each year, in almost every organization, 5 to 10% of roles will radically change, creating severe skills mismatches. The discrepancy between the skills people have and those needed for jobs in the digital world is one of the most critical problems of our time.
It’s a problem for individuals, businesses, governments, policymakers and other institutions—because it’s a problem for everyone. And we need to work together to solve it.
Upskilling is more than just training. It’s about gaining the knowledge, skills and experience for new and transformed roles, and being equipped to participate and adapt in an increasingly digital world.
What do people really think about the impact of technology on jobs?
We asked more than 22,000 workers from across the globe to share their hopes and fears. Here’s what they told us:
Change is coming
Workers know automation will change their jobs, and want to learn new skills to improve their employability.
- 53% of workers believe automation will significantly change or make their job obsolete within the next ten years. Only 28% of respondents feel this is unlikely.
- 77% of adults would learn new skills now or completely retrain to improve their future employability—of these, 35% "strongly agree".
How to start upskilling
The digital revolution requires a skills revolution. The skills revolution is about helping people build their digital awareness, understanding and skills to fully participate in the digital world — and it needs to start now.
- How do organizations upskill?
- How is PwC reaching those at risk of being left behind?
- How can businesses, governments and institutions work together on this complex issue?
How do organizations upskill?
Organizations 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.
Going global
Upskilling equals opportunity. The global PwC network has come together to close the digital divide and provide opportunity to millions of people across the world. PwC’s Global Chairman Bob Moritz and Carol Stubbings, Joint Global Leader, People and Organization, explain how PwC is preparing the global workforce for unpredictable and emerging technologies.
