Why is Getting Digital important?
www.fluency.io
Digital skills are job skills. Most jobs today require a level of digital fluency - even in non-digital roles. With digital skills, young people are 25% more likely to find work and earn on average 10% more when in work.
Over 50% of jobs in the last ten years in the UK were created by 6% of companies, mostly in the tech sector. In the next 10 years in London alone, it is predicted that the tech sector will create 46,000 jobs.
An extra 745,000 people with digital skills will be needed by 2017.

Learn: Challenges
But we believe that you only really learn digital by doing it.
Challenges are interspersed within lessons: a learner can put what they have learned into practice straightaway.

Do: Practice with Projects
Projects are bigger pieces of work that a learner can complete to gain real-world experience and build their portfolio of work.
Projects can be practice projects - bringing together the learning in a lesson - or projects posted by a business, further linking the learner to a potential job.

Access to work: Jobs board
But we don’t think it’s enough to just upskill young people when what they really need is work, so the last piece of puzzle is our Jobs Board and weekly bulletin connecting them to the best entry-level jobs in digital.

Partners
“The Prince's Trust partnered with Fluency to deliver digital training to young people on the Get Digital programme. The programme was incredibly successful and provided young people with an amazing array of digital skills entirely transferable into the workplace. Based on the skills learnt, many of the young people have been able to move into great jobs in areas such as digital media and content marketing. Fluency have determined the digital skills needed by young people and are now helping young people get into jobs by shaping their inherent digital literacy to enhance their employability and chances of future success. I believe their work is of huge importance and I very highly recommend them." Spencer Ayres, formerly Head of Technology, The Prince’s Trust
