National digital skills frameworks for policymaking Tuesday, 17 September 2024 : 15:45 – 17:00 Developing effective digital skills policies and strategies requires knowledge about the demand and supply of digital skills at the national level, as well as information and data on current and future skills gaps. The session will look at existing frameworks, concepts and classifications of digital skills/competencies, and explain why these are important for policymaking and for developing national digital skills strategies. It will explore how countries can measure and monitor digital skills levels and identify needs and gaps in their countries and feature practical guidelines and tools that help with skills assessments and informed decision making. The session will also provide concrete examples of countries that have measured and assessed their national digital skills gaps to better target their skills interventions and make policy recommendations on how to design impactful national digital skills strategies.
