Delivering Digital Functional Skills
July 10 @ 10:00 am – 11:30 am
Overview
It has taken several years for Digital Skills to be reformed and brought in line with the Essential Digital Skills framework, but now in place providers need to be able to adjust to the new requirements.
Digital Skills is a key focus and has been a legal entitlement for adults since August 2020, alongside maths and English at Level 2, this change is therefore significant within apprenticeships. While Digital Functional Skills are not a mandatory option in most apprenticeships, they provide part of the wider perspective of providing training that is considered essential for adults to be able to thrive in Modern Britain.
