Abstract

The ongoing global economic digital transformation characterized by the fourth industrial revolution (4IR) technology, digital technology will rapidly change work and skills needed to succeed in labor markets. Digital skills throughout all sectors drive demand for workers who can effectively use developing digital technologies and digital tools and platforms. People and schools and those who make rules need to think about what skills people will need to have to do in the jobs that are coming up. These skills should include being good with computers and technology, being able to think being able to adapt and being able to talk to people. The Future Skills Essential Skills Framework says that it is very important to teach skills in schools. At the center of this framework are three skills. Digital Literacy, Critical Thinking and Flexibility. We need to focus on Digital Literacy, Critical Thinking and Flexibility to help people get ready for the jobs that are coming up. Digital Literacy is a skill that people will need to have. Critical Thinking is also very important. Flexibility is another skill that people will need to have to do well in the future. The digital literacy component aligns closely with global standards for digital skills.
