The Department for Digital Culture Media & Sport has formed a new Digital Skills Council to provide a focal point for the liaison of government and industry to impact the digital skills shortage and quality deficit in the UK. The Council will bring together government and industry, driving forward industry led action, to address industry’s current and future demand for digital skills. The Council will promote routes into digital careers and opportunities for the labour market to re-skill and up-skill to meet current and future employer needs.

The 2017 UK Digital Strategy announced that government would establish a Digital Skills Partnership (DSP) which brings together public, private and charity sector organisations to facilitate coordination between digital skills programmes, including the sharing of knowledge and best practice.

The DSP aims to improve coherence of digital skills provision at a national level, but also promote and support the establishment of Local Digital Skills Partnerships.

The DSP Board was established in November 2017.
