Digital skills for tomorrow, today

This third edition in the Digital skills Aotearoa series explores our digital skills landscape in New Zealand and globally. It issues an urgent call to equip Aotearoa New Zealand's workforce with skills for the digital age. The report examines our demand and supply mismatch, where the greatest unmet demand is for senior workers with specific advanced digital skills and experience. Generally, these roles cannot be filled by graduates and early-career workers. As a result of this mismatch, many graduates find it difficult to obtain entry-level jobs.

The report also forecasts our future demand, identifying challenges and supply opportunities. To enable Aotearoa's future, the report provides several recommendations. These include a collective response to our digital skills challenge, leadership from our largest employer and the need for industry to prioritise collaborative efforts to address the issue.
