New world. New skills.
Everyone should be able to live, learn, work and participate in the digital world.
The accelerating pace at which technology is developing has impacted businesses and our daily lives. One area that continues to experience rapid change? Jobs. We see new roles being created, while others fade out. The gap between the skills people have today and the ones needed for tomorrow is growing at an unmatched rate, and it will continue to widen if nothing is done.
We believe the need to upskill is a critical issue that deserves considerable attention. That’s why the PwC global network is investing US$3bn that will go towards upskilling over the next four years.
At PwC Vietnam, our people are our greatest assets, and we’ve invested in training to ensure they are prepared for the future of work. But our commitment to upskilling doesn’t stop there. It extends to helping other organisations identify and address the challenges within their workforce, and reaching underprivileged communities who may not have access to upskilling opportunities.
That’s how we hope to bridge the digital divide.

Upskilling is not just about digital skills. While there is an increase in demand for skills like data analytics and coding, for example, soft skills such as curiosity, innovation and adaptability are equally important.
