Digital Futures Ambassador
At 60innovations, we’ve committed to being a responsible member of Manchester’s tech community, one that is committed to actively developing the region’s talent pipeline.
That’s why we’ve registered to become a Digital Futures Ambassador here – so we can join the 250 businesses that are committing to bridging the digital skills gap.
Why is Digital Futures so important?
Because, by 2035, Greater Manchester’s digital and creative sector will require an additional 22,000 roles in order to sustain itself.
This figure is staggering, especially when you consider that right here, in 2019, we are already experiencing a skills shortage so severe that one-third of our region’s digital businesses have reported turning away work due to a lack of talent.
That’s why we’ve decided to join the collection of progressive businesses that have decided to become Digital Futures Ambassadors.
