This is down 1.1 million since 2015.

The government will be introducing a National Retraining Scheme, which will be an ambitious, far-reaching programme to drive adult learning and retraining, and digital skills will be one the Scheme’s early focuses. As part of the Scheme, the government will invest £30 million to test the use of Artificial Intelligence and innovative Education Technology in online digital skills courses so that learners can access the training they need to work with and alongside new technologies.</p><p>In order to create the next generation of digital specialists, the government supports the new Institute of Coding. A consortium of 60 universities, businesses and industry experts will receive £20 million of government funding to help graduates access the skills employers need, in fields from cybersecurity to artificial intelligence to industrial design. We are also implementing the recommendations from the Shadbolt Review of Computer Sciences Degree Accreditation and Graduate Employability. Additionally, Ada, the National College for Digital Skills, intends to deliver high quality digital skills training to up to 5,000 learners in its first seven years.</p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 23/04/2018 16:29:10 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah
