At Tech City UK, we, alongside our partners in the UK Government, are launching Digital Business Academy - a unique programme dedicated to meeting this challenge head on. It is the first time that a government-funded MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) has been developed with the specific aim of up-skilling the nation and developing the necessary business skills to succeed in the digital industries.
The programme brings together the UK’s world-class educational institutions University College Londonand Cambridge University and grassroots digital skills provider Founder Centric in a series of 8 courses - allonline and accessible to anyone in the UK for free. This connection between grassroots business needs and third level expertise is an important step. We want the UK population, irrespective of age, economic status, or background, to be able to access the vital training and skills they need to excel in the digital workplace.
Our shared EU vision must be to democratise digital skills and to equip all citizens with the training needed to meet the demands of the digital age. In order to do this we need a revolutionary shift in thinking around how we approach the issue of education in the 21st century.
It is now time to create a marriage between industry and educators, to deliver the skills needed for Europe’s future generations of business builders.
