DIGITAL  SKILLS  TO  MEET  FUTURE  DEMAND:

As  the  Fourth  Industrial  Revolution  rolls  on,  the  demand  for  digital  skills  among  the  youth  grows  exponentially.
Young  people  who  want  to  be  employable  cannot  ignore  the  importance  of  digital  literacy  as  part  of  their  training  and  education.

Solving  South  Africa’s  youth  unemployment  will  take  a  long-term  concerted  effort  underpinned  by  strong  economic  growth.
It  falls  on  the  youth,  however  to  take  proactive  steps  to  ensure  they  can  play  a  role  in  meeting  the  challenge.

Approaching  employment  from  an  innovative  or  disruptive  stand  point  is  one  way  of  doing  this.
The  other  is  arming  themselves  with  the  skills  and  knowledge  which  will  make  them  employable  not  just  tomorrow  but  for  decades  to  come.
