To navigate the movement toward digital literacy, we urgently need to restructure how workers access training and education, as well as how employers account for skills in hiring and retaining qualified employees. Partnerships across all players in the labor market—businesses, educators, career coaches and even policymakers—are paramount. We must recognize the diverse needs of these businesses and workers, and identify the most comprehensive ways to support them.
We also need to equip workers with digital literacy skills and help them recognize and market the skills they already possess.
