Digital Skills to Succeed in Asia (DS2S) – Future-Ready Learning for Careers in the Digital Age The increasing digitalisation of processes is leading to profound changes in the global labour market, resulting in a growing demand for digital skilled employees. This shift particularly affects young university graduates. The World Economic Forum highlights that 54 per cent of the global workforce needs to further develop their digital skills to meet current industry demands. However, young graduates, especially in Asia, encounter various challenges. They often lack practical, job-relevant skills. In addition, they often have noticeable skills gaps with regard to digital technologies. Moreover, there is a significant gender imbalance: Young women in the Asia-Pacific region are three times more likely to be classified as NEETs (not in education, employment, or training) compared to their male peers. Inadequate digital skills training further exacerbates the gender gap. Objective Young university students in Asia have enhanced digital skills, positioning them for success in the labour market and advancing their careers in the digital era. |
