Many UK firms unable to find employees to fill digital positions: Report

A number of companies in the UK have unfilled ‘digital vacancies’ with some being unable to find employees with basic computer skills, including writing documents and using spreadsheets, according to a report by TCS and Confederation of British Industry (CBI).

The study, titled ‘Delivering Skills for the New Economy’, surveyed 250 companies. It highlighted that while the companies in the UK expect requirement for digital skills to skyrocket in the next three years, less than one-third of the respondents were confident of being able to meet those needs.

Over two-third (67 per cent) of the companies surveyed said they have unfilled digital vacancies.
