How to empower your team with digital skills

With the rise of AI and other rapidly evolving digital tools, mastering digital skills has become all the more indispensable for charities striving to fulfil their important missions. More than half of charities rate themselves as poor at digital fundraising, and recent FutureDotNow research reveals that 54% of the UK workforce lacks essential digital skills. It’s clear we have significant work ahead.

Join us at CAST for an insightful webinar where we’ll unveil our collaborative journey in developing a comprehensive digital skills framework. Partnering with The Scout Association and 13 diverse charities, we’ve created a tool to empower staff and volunteers with the digital skills they need, starting from the essential to the more advanced. Many of the tools and resources in the framework are vital elements of any digital fundraiser’s toolkit.

During this session, we’ll share our development process, highlight the challenges encountered, and, most importantly, outline the top strategies these organisations are using to foster a culture of continuous digital learning.

Key leranings from this session:

• Discover common challenges faced by charities when embedding digital skills and ways of working.
• Learn practical strategies to support staff to learn new skills and thrive in today’s digital landscape.
• Take away a question set to understand your staff or volunteers’ digital skills.
• Receive 5 top resources for digital fundraisers from the framework.
• Have the opportunity to sign up to be amongst the first to hear about the official launch of the digital skills framework.
