Digital skills are the required skill in the workplace to get a bit more advance in the companies and growth of you. Digital skills are defined as the ability to find, evaluate, use, share, and create the required content using digital devices, such as computers and smartphones. As we know technology is the centre of our lives, our whole life is dependent on the internet and digital communications.
Why we need to learn digital skills:
The digital transformation which takes place in the present
world is affecting every industry in the world as every industry are linked to
technology and other things related to technology.
For an easy example, we can take food delivery apps that create
menu options and attractive food photos which attract the customers without
leaving their homes. These things build up the responsibilities of the restaurant
workers who manage the digital devices. And also, there is some virtual walkthrough
to the restaurant such as 360-degree view and other technologies.
There was a major shift to the online sector due to the
covid-19 pandemic, and also further even if the covid gets exited from the
world. There are many opportunities in the digitalization process and also because
of the covid-19 breakout. Most of the developing countries are getting the
digital skills and making their whole country digitalised. As our country,
India is taking steps for digitalisation. Experts are claiming that there would
be more jobs and scops for the digital sector in the coming world.
As most of the experts in the world claim that most Americans
are lacking digital skills in the 21st century. They claim that 1/3rd
of the Americans is lacking digital skills, and they claim that only 18% have
the best and limited digital skills. These things are claimed by IT experts. The
states that this insufficient is due to lack of education at the time of their schooling.
In the major industries in the US such as construction, transportation,
and storage industries half of the workers do not need digital skills. And also,
this statistic continues on health, social work, and many other sectors.
There was an increase of spike in the digital sector jobs and
also the workers of the respective industries these made the more requirements
in the jobs of every sector for the people have the digital skills. A global
study by Coursera states that America lacks behind many countries of Europe and
Asia in the digital skills of workers. They also added that they don’t have the
digital economy skills and simple operating skills.
In our present world, digital skills are the most essential
thing in this 21st century. From the study, we got the report that
the digital economy makes the most of the GDP for the country. 22.5% is the
contribution of the digital economy contribution toward the GDP growth.
A study done in America states that 23% per cent of houses doesn’t
have a desktop or laptop, and also 7% of the people doesn’t use the internet. These
things make other countries people opportunities to get a job in the digital
sector in America.
India needs to improve the gain of digital skills:
According to the reports of IT, the company’s sector is
facing a talent crunch. Only 12% of the Indian workforce has the proper digital
skills. The government is trying the increase digital skills. India almost 70%
of the IT employees are applied for the digital skills increase in their jobs. Most
of the demands we can see in specific digital sectors only such as game development,
digital architecture, data science and many other streams.
There are over 3.9 billion digital sessions all over India
in the next five years as per the reports. Near to 3 million people has the
basic digital skills due to the covid pandemic and they have learnt the things.
Skill will be the new currency all over the world in the
time of after pandemic. Microsoft the biggest company in the world, is bringing
the company to supplement Linked in’s work to promote digital skills opportunities.
Due to the pandemic, many countries got the Gap for the digital skills in their people and workers, which will become cash for other country people.
Digital skills cover a range of abilities with the use of digital devices and
communication applications and networks and other information. The skills gap
must become an opportunity for our country,
