Why digital skills? Why now? 

COVID-19 has created a global economic crisis, forcing tens of millions of people around the world out of work, Some of the jobs lost will not come back, or at least not fast enough to meet demand. Those that do come back will look different, requiring more digital skills as companies race to change the way they work to respond to and recover from the pandemic. Other jobs will become more “tech-enabled,” requiring job seekers to have some level of digital fluency to be able to successfully pursue them. 

In the post COVID world, all people-especially those from the hardest hit industries and the most vulnerable communities—will need to learn new skills to rejoin the workforce prepared for technical and tech-enabled roles that will be in even greater demand going forward. 

That’s why Microsoft has committed to help 25 million people worldwide who have lost their jobs due to COVID-19 and want to reskill for in demand roles.
