BPP Channel Islands new Digital Skills Programme starts in September
BPP Channel Islands’s eight-session Digital Skills Programme starting on the 13th September enables those working in professional services to understand how emerging technology is impacting the professional services industry.
Delivered digitally over three months and covering a range of contemporary topics covering areas such as machine learning, artificial intelligence, and advanced data analysis, the Digital Skills Programme empowers professional services employees for the changing world.
The next few years will see major developments in the skills accountants, bankers and lawyers are expected to have as digital transformation reshapes every sector of the economy. Employers and clients will want to work with professionals who are able to navigate and understand data, cybersecurity and automation to find innovative solutions to whatever issues need addressing.
That doesn't mean that everyone has to be a master coder or become a data scientist. What is required though is to foster a digital mindset, and to develop conversational fluency in a handful of technical topics.
