In an age of increasingly rapid digital transformation, issues of job mobility, portability of skills and the need for rapid reskilling and upskilling are front of mind. Digital capability is essential to education, workplaces and engaging in today’s society.
It involves the ability to use digital technologies to define, access, manage, integrate, communicate, evaluate and create information safely and appropriately in a responsible and ethical manner.
The Framework describes the broad digital capabilities required by workers across a wide range of Australian occupations and industries. With a sector-neutral language and straightforward descriptors derived from Australian work contexts, it ensures the Framework’s relevance to users in workplace, education and training contexts.
The Framework lends itself to a wide range of users and uses including support for workforce development, skills assessments, career development, labour mobility, analysis of training package content and development of new training products and pathways, labour market analysis and benchmarking.
