The digital economy is growing 50% faster than the wider economy and Digital Apprenticeships are expected to be the levy’s highest growth sector Investment in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) subjects are a priority for UK plc. With opportunity also comes challenge, talent supply remains the number one challenge facing the digital sector with over 50% of businesses highlighting a shortage of highly skilled employees. In fact, nearly 25% described sourcing talent as a ‘major challenge’ and lack of relevant industry experience is the primary recruitment challenge. Over the years, I’ve gained an in-depth understanding of government skills reforms in relation to apprenticeships. This enables me to engage and support key stakeholders in designing creative training solutions to combat and overcome these skills challenges.
