Digital Skills are the skills you use for living, learning and working in a digitally connected world.

Everyone has digital skills, and everyone can continue to learn and develop them. The digital world is constantly changing, so the skills you need keep changing with it. Check out the video to see what digital skills might look like in your life.

The Digital Skills Hub helps you become more aware of the digital capabilities you already have, explore new skills to help you study more effectively, and feel confident that you have the digital skills you need to thrive in your future career.
