Opportunity overview

Ofcom has a statutory duty to promote media literacy. Through engagement undertaken as part of the Media Literacy Strategy and the Making Media Literacy Everybody's Business programme, Ofcom has identified employers as an important route for reaching working-age adults. Employer investment in digital capability, AI skills and workforce development creates an opportunity to embed media literacy alongside existing skills activity and employer development programmes.
