A survey conducted by advisory multinational PwC of 32 517 workers in 19 countries, including South Africa, shows that 40% of workers improved their digital skills during pandemic lockdowns and 77% are ready to learn new skills or completely re-train. However, 46% of people with post-graduate degrees say their employer gives them many opportunities to improve their digital skills in contrast to 28% of people with school-leaver qualifications reporting the same. Only 25% of people in the retail industry report opportunities to improve digital skills, while only 20% of respondents in the transport industry report this. These industries are at risk of disruption.
