The House of Lords Digital Skills Committee published their report ‘Make or Break: The UK’s Digital Future’ today. The Select Committee on Digital Skills was appointed by the House of Lords on 12 June 2014 ‘to consider and report on information and communications technology, competitiveness and skills in the United Kingdom’.
The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) provided evidence last year to this Select Committee and cited the work being done locally by Norfolk Chamber of Commerce which was specifically referenced within the report.
The report refers to Chambers of Commerce a number of times and supports the BCC manifesto which highlights the need for more business governors on school boards. Norfolk Chamber was mentioned on p75 where it states “We heard the example of Norfolk Chamber of Commerce, which ran a series of events on digital skills bringing in some of its local businesses to deliver workshops and talks on the latest technological and digital advances. This provided the rest of the local business community the opportunity to exploit those advances and grow.” To read the full report click here.
