BBC reported that the UK was heading towards a digital skills shortage disaster: students taking subjects related to digital skills dropped by 40%, yet the demand for tech jobs increased.

Studies reveal that 70% of people want employers to invest in teaching digital skills on the job, but only half the employers are providing those opportunities – even though 76% believe the lack of digital skills is hitting their profitability.
