Digital upskilling for all

The demand for digital skills in Asia is significantly high, with the Asian Development Bank’s survey of employers in Asia and the Pacific revealing that 75% of employers in four countries now have increased demand for new hires with digital skills. But with ongoing high unemployment rates and gender-based barriers impacting women’s access to education and employment, how can this demand for digital skills be met effectively? This session will consider practical approaches to ensure equitable digital upskilling across Asia, engage harder-to-reach prospective workers, and power the labour market by building a diverse, competent talent pool.
