The substantial national survey, to be released in Wellington later today, paints a picture of lost opportunity, highlighting that New Zealand is facing a concerning digital skills mismatch impacting on the growth of the economy. The Digital Skills Aotearoa survey says not enough Kiwis choose lucrative digital tech careers and there is often a mismatch between what the education system provides and what the tech ecosystem needs. The report is published by the Digital Skills Forum which was established in 2015 to bring together the government agencies focused on digital skills and the tech industry which is redefining the world Kiwis live in, Forum member and NZTech chief executive Graeme Muller says.
