THE digital economy, automation and Industry 4.0 have changed the labour market, ushering in an era of digital globalisation with increased expectations of skills built on digital literacy. Digital literacy used to be what many considered an employability bonus, but nowadays employers are seeking professionals with the competencies to work alongside today’s digital transformation, ensuring they remain relevant amidst growing technological advancements in the workplace.
Defined as the ability to use digital technology, communication tools or networks to evaluate, share and create value within an organisation or process, a survey by INTI International University & Colleges revealed that digital literacy is an increasingly important skill sought by employers in Malaysia, as digitalisation rapidly becomes central in business operations. While most employers (30%) regard it as the most essential skill needed to excel in a job, the survey also revealed that only 4% of fresh graduates recognise the rising significance of digital literacy and while considered digital natives, many have yet to master the digital tools and skills necessary for the workplace.
