VET in NSW have identified the evolving digital skill needs across seven key vocational education sectors in NSW:
Through extensive research, surveys, focus groups, and stakeholder consultations, the project found that 94% of respondents believe jobs now demand more digital skills than just two years ago, yet over 93% reported a significant gap between industry requirements and current training offerings.
Foundational digital competencies such as cyber security, cloud computing, data analysis, and effective digital communication are now baseline expectations across all sectors.
There were 10 cross-industry digital foundation skills that were consistently identified as critical to workforce readiness:
1. Digital literacy (ICT use and navigation)
2. Online communication and collaboration
3. Cyber security awareness
4. Data entry and digital record-keeping
5. Use of workplace-specific software
6. Problem solving with digital tools
7. Online customer service etiquette
8. Digital scheduling and time management tools
9. Remote work protocols and virtual meetings
10. Social media and content creation for business use
These skills support not only individual employability but also organisational resilience and adaptability in an increasingly digital economy.
