Abstract
Digital skills, both general and specialized, have become even more vital than they were in the past for a wide variety of sectors and professions. This is because the nature of the technology world is such that it is always evolving. It is possible that effective innovation, which is achieved via the appropriate use of new technology, could be hampered if there is a continued lack of skills in the workforce. Additionally, there are considerable discrepancies in the readiness of the labor force to fill the expanding skill demands associated with digitalization across a variety of economic sectors, countries, and even various worker demographics. These differences may be seen in the workforce. In this context, it will be essential to increase the number of programs that aim to reskill and upskill workers, particularly those who come from certain communities. The purpose of this chapter is to discuss the significance of acquiring the essential digital skills that are now available, and the digital abilities that women need to acquire to be competitive in the employment market.
