Changes to how and where we work have been accelerated in the past few years by the pandemic. For many organisations the crisis brought to the fore the discrepancy between the skills people have and those needed for jobs in the digital world.
Upskilling to bridge the digital divide is a complex problem that requires business leaders, governments and educators to work together. This will be instrumental to the future success of the Isle of Man to develop programmes to upskill and reskill the workforce to invest in our people, our island and our economy. In the process, we’ll make the world a more resilient, more capable and more inclusive place.
Here at PwC Isle of Man we have started our upskilling journey and over the next few years will be making a major investment in terms of upskilling. This will primarily be invested in building the ‘digital fitness’ of our people, and in technologies for supporting clients and programmes to support our community.
Together, we’ll help upskill the Isle of Man. We’re excited to continue our journey to upskill our own people and share what we’ve learned and help businesses, governments, local communities and individuals accelerate their upskilling journey.
In this short documentary, academics, NGOs, policymakers and business leaders explain why upskilling for a digital world has become a priority for society, organisations and governments.
The Isle of Man's workforce need to get up to speed. Explore our thought leadership report to see what kinds of work are under threat on the one side and how we could create new and higher value employment opportunities on the other.
