Digital capabilities framework

Digital capabilities at an individual level; are attitudes and skills which equip someone to live, learn and work in a digital society.

Digital capabilities are relevant to everyone, not just in their work lives but increasingly in all aspects of their lives. This is why our digital capabilities - the skills, knowledge and understanding which help us to live, learn and work in a digital society - are so important

Our approach supports staff across all roles to build the confidence, skills and understanding needed to thrive in increasingly digital environments. We use the nationally recognised Jisc digital capabilities framework, supporting colleagues to develop their digital skills.  The usefulness of the framework comes in the discussions that can be had about digital capabilities along with enabling an individual to conceptualise their current and future digital knowledge, skills, and abilities.

To support staff in developing these capabilities, we offer:

• Access to the Jisc Discovery Tool, which provides a personalised report and curated resources to help you reflect on and grow your digital skills
• A wide range of LinkedIn Learning courses and tailored development programmes
• Bespoke support, workshops and recognition pathways aligned with your role and development goals.

Colleagues can learn more about the digital capabilities framework on the OD&PL Staff Intranet site:
