It\u2019s the Digital Age. Or is it? A majority of the current and prospective workforce think they lack the proper digital skills to prepare them for the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across 19 surveyed countries, workers scored 33 out of a possible 100 points on the Digital Skills Readiness Index across areas such as preparedness, access to learning resources, skill level, and participation in training. Workers in the United States fared slightly better at 36 out of 100 points.<\/p>\n\n\n

But these findings challenge those assumptions. In fact, many respondents say they feel unequipped and unprepared for some of the most important digital skills needed for the workplace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
