Digital Employability Skills

Improving digital skills for employment

Digital is changing our lives, how we apply for jobs, and how work in a new digital era. This means that having the digital skills, motivation, and confidence to use the internet is becoming essential for life and work.

 

Applying for jobs

Digital skills can help you find and apply for jobs. They make it easier to prepare for an interview and help you succeed. Many jobs are only advertised online. You’ll often need to apply using an online application form or by emailing a CV. The job selection process may also include online tests or a video interview. Knowing how to cope with these will improve your job chances.

We offer tailored pre-employment
support and workshops

How to create a digital CV and cover letter

Learn more about why it is essential to have a digital version of your CV, and how to identify and highlight strengths, skills, and experiences that are relevant to the job you are applying for. Attendees will discover why quality over quantity is important when making job applications.

How to use recruitment agencies and job boards to work on your behalf

Learn how to team up with relevant recruitment agencies that can work on your behalf when seeking employment. This workshop will cover networking both online and offline, and provide tips that will help set you apart from other candidates.

How to use social media to find new job opportunities

Learn how to use social media to identify new job opportunities and how to automate the job searching process. This workshop focuses on the top three social media sites used for employment and covers the importance of having an online social presence to secure a new job.

How to succeed in online and face-to-face interviews

This workshop will help you to prepare for various interview formats and learn more about both verbal and non-verbal communication. The workshop covers online interview formats including pre-recorded interviews, and what you need to consider and do in order to succeed.

Managing Director
Digi Skills has supported the recruitment plans for my business on a recent engagement. The whole process was easy and straightforward. As a new business, we needed support in planning an interview strategy and training our team on how to interview effectively. We found the right candidate promptly and the team is helping us with ongoing training and development of our staff. I look forward to our continued business relationship and can highly recommend Digi Skills!
Paul
Managing Director
Working with Digi Skills as our recruitment and training partner has helped us to upskill our team and expand our reach across the UK. The team understands how to support our business and how to get the best from our people and processes. They have taken the time to get to know us, how we work and our plans for the business.

Graphic Designer
They Are By Far The Best training and employment agency & they Actually Care About My Career! The communication and advice from the team was very relaxing and affirmative. They made me feel relaxed and at ease during the interview process and filled me with confidence before and after the interview. The approach and advice was also very relaxing and informative. The phone calls between us did not feel work related but rather a chat between two friends discussing a new job, the technology industry, workshops, designers and what I wanted out of life. This approach put me at ease and made me feel more confident. Before I went on to my interview, I had a ‘mock interview’ over the phone. We went through questions, which could possibly pop up in the interview. Not every question in the ‘mock interview’ did come up in the interview but a few of the questions did, and I was well prepared this helped me feel relaxed and confident knowing they were experts in their industry. If I had any questions about the interview or about the process in general, Digi Skills were only a phone call away and had no issues answering any questions and provided full support from start to finish & we also had a laugh along the way. Digi Skills knew of my lack of experience because I had only recently finished university but I was assured that my work was good enough for the role and they also assured me that my employer knew of my lack of experience. They knew how to guide me through the interview process with the amount of experience I possessed and they helped me get my first job! I started the job one day after my graduation ceremony and haven’t looked back since. I wouldn’t have gotten this breakthrough without the help of Digi Skills and I can't thank them enough. The process from start to finish was very reassuring and I was helped along every step of the journey, including after I got the job, which I appreciated. Once I had the job, other companies would’ve parted ways and I may not have heard of them again but not with Digi Skills. They wanted to know how I settled in, what work I was doing, how I was finding the new job etc. and I felt like they actually cared about my future, rather than me being just another ‘job seeker’. I would defiantly recommend Digi Skills to anyone who is after a job or career advice. They helped me get my first big breakthrough and helped me through the whole process. They had mass amounts of knowledge about every question & are passionate about helping people. Anything I asked I always felt I was speaking with a professional who provided the support I needed & much more. I thank the team at Digi Skills for all their support and for helping me to get my first job as a Graphic Designer, without them this would not have been possible.
