Arewa Digital Learning Solution

We are living in the midst of a digital revolution. More people are connected to the Internet than ever before, using digital devices and services for work and for all aspects of their life. In part this has been fuelled by the rise of mobile broadband, which every day ensures the participation of more people in developing countries in the digital economy. New technologies have also proliferated over the past decade – some even more recently – artificial intelligence, big data, blockchain, cloud computing, Internet of Things, machine learning, mobile applications, nanotechnology and 3D printing among others. These will drive profound change in our daily lives over the coming decade, radically altering how we consume, produce and work. And, as with all transformational changes, they present us with great opportunity – and significant challenge too.

Digital skills underpin nearly every aspect of work and life. From filling in a government form to communicating for work, it is difficult to find a job or life-task that does not require a basic level of digital functioning. And with new technologies emerging every day, we need lifelong opportunities to learn new skills that will allow us to succeed in an era of ongoing digital transformation.

Digital skills are essential in opening the door to a wide range of opportunities in the 21st century. Countries that implement comprehensive digital skills strategies ensure their populations have the skills they need to be more employable, productive, creative, and successful while ensuring they remain safe, secure and healthy online. Critically, digital skills strategies need to be updated regularly to respond to the emergence of new technologies and their impact on the digital economy and digital society.

The digital economy has created a huge shortage of people with the necessary digital skills. Fahas Home Design & Tech research shows that there will be fives of millions of jobs for people with advanced digital skills in the coming years.

In Africa, for example, estimates suggest there will be 500,000 unfilled positions for ICT professionals by 2022. Every region faces similar challenges. In addition to existing skills gaps, experts forecast that advances in areas like artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, 3D printing, and other technologies will usher in a new era that will radically alter patterns of consumption, production, and employment. Many countries view digital skills as one of the core foundations of the digital transformation.
