The qualification of Digital Skills for Work – Level 2 reflects the latest government thinking on basic digital skills and the Basic Digital Skills Framework.
This qualification is designed to support learners to develop the digital skills that will support them in getting into work and performing their job roles effectively. While they can easily be offered as stand-alone bite-sized awards, the new qualifications could also be usefully combined with other units or qualifications into meaningful packages of learning. For example:
Learners for whom English is not their first language who are seeking to improve their employability prospects might combine an ESOL qualification with a Digital Skills for Work Award. This course is designed for adults, including immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers, and members of settled minority communities who are adjusting to life in an English-speaking country. Whether you want to improve your digital skills for work, social interaction, or personal development, the course supports your goals. It also promotes social integration and provides a pathway to further education and employment.
