The UK government has launched a survey to find out what advanced and specialist digital skills are needed in the UK and to better understand the UK’s specialist digital skills needs. Technology roles such as cyber security specialists and data scientists are growing in demand, and organisations are on the lookout for people with the right skills to fill these positions. In some cases, firms are at risk because of a lack of workers with these skills. Many believe the UK’s skills gap will only get wider unless the government, education providers and the technology industry work together to develop the skills that industry needs to fill roles now and in the future.
