87% of jobs now require digital literacy skills

Australia has dropped from 9th to 15th place on the global table of digital competitiveness

Employees without adequate digital skills report decreased confidence and increased workplace stress.

What is the Digital Skills Gap?

The digital skills gap refers to the growing gap between the current workforce’s ability to navigate technology and the digitally-reliant society we have created.

In other words, our current population of students and employees are struggling to navigate the new landscape because they may have limited digital skills. In order to close the gap, schools and organisations need to upskill their community to ensure they have the skills needed to independently navigate new platforms, resources, and devices.

The Digital Literacy Licence: A Comprehensive Solution

Recognising the pivotal role of digital literacy in driving Australia's digital competitiveness, VETNexus has developed the Digital Literacy Licence (DLL), a comprehensive program designed to equip learners and professionals with the essential digital skills they need to succeed.

The DLL program is meticulously crafted to align with the Australian Digital Capability Framework (ADCF) and the Digital Literacy Skills Framework (DLSF), ensuring that participants receive a well-rounded education.

Through a combination of interactive learning modules, hands-on activities, and real-world scenarios, the DLL program empowers participants to:

Develop a deep understanding of the digital landscape and its impact on various aspects of life

  • Cultivate critical thinking skills to evaluate the credibility of online information sources

  • Enhance their ability to communicate and collaborate effectively in digital environments

  • Create compelling digital content that resonates with their target audience

  • Implement robust cybersecurity measures to safeguard their digital identities and data

  • Embrace the principles of digital ethics and responsible technology use

By equipping individuals with these comprehensive digital skills, the DLL program not only addresses Australia's current digital competitiveness challenges but also future-proofs the workforce, ensuring they possess the agility and adaptability to thrive in an ever-evolving digital world.

What’s included?

  • Story-Telling Approach to Learning

    The lessons begin with story-telling, mixed in with some decision-making. Go on a journey with our DLL characters as they learn all about navigating a digital world. We follow this group of friends and family throughout the four levels of the program, learning alongside them.

  • Interactive Content

    The program involves the participant in completing activities along the way to reinforce the messages from the characters and stories as well as the subsequent content that is presented. By the time the participant reaches the assessment points, they have already undertaken a range of activities to reinforce the message.

  • Activity Type Indicators

    There are consistent markers across the program to highlight the type of activity that is being presented. This may be a video, link to a website, click to reveal, or a drag and drop style activity. It is quick and easy to identify the type of activity by glancing at the top corner of the slide.

  • Content Outlines

    Each lesson begins with a Lesson Roadmap that outlines the content that will be covered in the lesson. Each GPS indicator on the map provides additional detail on each topic.

Bridging the Digital Divide: Empowering Businesses and Individuals

The benefits of the DLL program extend beyond individual empowerment; it also plays a crucial role in bolstering the digital competitiveness of Australian businesses and organisations. By investing in the digital literacy of their workforce, companies can unlock a wealth of advantages, including:

  • Enhanced Productivity: A digitally literate workforce can leverage technology to streamline processes, automate repetitive tasks, and optimise workflows, increasing efficiency and productivity.

  • Improved Customer Experience: With a deep understanding of digital platforms and communication channels, employees can deliver exceptional customer experiences, fostering loyalty and driving business growth.

  • Innovation and Agility: By cultivating a culture of digital literacy, organisations can encourage innovation, rapidly adapt to changing market dynamics, and seize new opportunities as they arise.

  • Cybersecurity Resilience: Equipping employees with the knowledge and skills to identify and mitigate cyber threats can significantly reduce the risk of data breaches, protecting the organisation's reputation and financial well-being.

  • Talent Attraction and Retention: Companies prioritising digital literacy training and development are more likely to attract and retain top talent, positioning themselves as forward-thinking and committed to employee growth.

Furthermore, by empowering individuals with digital literacy skills, the DLL program contributes to bridging the digital divide within society. It ensures that no one is left behind in the digital revolution, fostering an inclusive and equitable digital ecosystem where all Australians can participate, contribute, and thrive.
