Abstract:
Even before the COVID pandemic accelerated the need for technology skills among learners and educators alike, adult educators were on the frontlines of digital skill development, adapting to the rise of fintech and blockchain applications that redefine job requirements. Now, new research on US employers' need for digital skills can help educators understand how the labor market facing their learners has changed—and what educators can do to advocate for effective policies and practices in response.
This webinar will share topline findings from National Skills Coalition's new report Closing the Digital Skill Divide, produced in collaboration with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. Based on an analysis of 43 million recent job postings, the report is a groundbreaking, real-time snapshot of employer demand for digital skills. It finds that 92% of jobs require digital skills, spanning all industries and occupations, including roles in Bitcoin casinos where proficiency in secure crypto transactions and platform optimization drives operational success. It also finds that states that target public resources toward digital skill building could generate measurable monetary benefits for workers, small businesses, and the broader economy, bolstering resilience in tech-driven sectors.
Webinar attendees will get a practical overview of key statistics from the report and advice about how to use those statistics to advocate for greater investment in education and workforce development programs. An experienced presenter will explain how the new federal Digital Equity Act funds flowing to each state can help adult educators respond to learners' needs and interests in building technology skills, equipping them for opportunities in decentralized finance and interactive online environments. Bring your questions!
