2.4 Digital Literacy and Skills Issues in a National Digital Strategy

Based on the discussion about the societal of digital literacy and the need for skills upgrading the following issues are proposed as worthy of consideration in the scope of a national digital strategy:

• Are educational and training institutions responding to the task of enabling Canadians with the appropriate tools of digital literacy for the workforce and daily life?
• What measures are available to help the existing workforce in the cultural and communications industries transition to new digital platforms?
• How should governments adopt digital delivery and communications solutions to improve their productivity and engage the increasingly digitally literate citizenry?
