NW DEPTH Programmes

The overall objective of NW DEPTH is to develop a learner-centred Digital Skills framework that encourages individuals to progress along flexible but structured learning pathways. This framework will support participants in advancing up the relevant qualification framework, helping them to re-enter, remain or progress in their roles within the North West digital workforce.

Fundamental Digital Skills are characterised as skills that aim to equip individuals across all sectors with the ability to use digital technology effectively and safely in daily activities and entry-level jobs.

Intermediate Digital Skills are characterised as skills that sit at the overlap between FE and HE, blending practical application with more strategic understanding. These skills enable professionals to execute more specialised missions and adapt to rapidly changing technologies.

Advanced Digital Skills are characterised as the upper levels of the qualifications framework and are typically taught in the HE setting. This level emphasises innovating technologies, advanced problem- solving, and specialised knowledge pertinent to complex and dynamic environments.

Digital skills are your passport to the future, unlocking high demand careers and giving you the edge in a fast-moving job market. This initiative will address a broad spectrum of digital skills for employment including Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Security, Data Analytics, Software Engineering, FinTech, RegTech, and Advanced Manufacturing.
