Welcome to the Digital Skills Hub

A space for teams to get the tools and skills they need to thrive in the digital workplace.

This Hub is a place to:

Measure skill levels

Check existing digital knowledge by answering a series of multiple choice questions in two assessments. Then, receive personalized results about current digital skill levels. 

Learn something new

Explore skill-based courses from Microsoft, IBM SkillsBuild, Google, Canva and more. Personalized assessment results will point to which courses are the best fit.

Apply that knowledge

Expand your knowledge by exploring best practices and see success stories from others who have upskilled and are thriving.

Measure Learn Apply

Create a culture of continuous learning

The measure / learn / apply cycle is meant to be ongoing. As new technology is introduced, it changes the way we work, which means there will always be more opportunities for teams to upskill. In order to adapt and thrive, continue to cycle through the steps. Reassess expertise, acquire new skills, and check out fresh ways to apply that knowledge in the Digital Skills Hub.

Steady digital growth brings opportunities

Much like the rest of the world, Canada’s digital economy is growing faster than the general economy, and creating new and in-demand employment opportunities for all of us. It’s estimated that by 2030 9 out of 10 jobs in Canada will need digital skills.

But it’s hard to know where to start

While opportunities to work in the digital space have never been better, employers are struggling to fill these jobs. We need to take steps now to educate, train, and upskill existing workforces and those who are starting out. However, only 19% of Canada’s workforce is equipped with the resources to learn digital skills.
