Checklist for expanding digital skills

This is part of a toolkit that summarises a suite of resources and tools developed by DOT PROJECT in partnership with key experts as part of the Charity Digital Leaders programme.

The purpose of the toolkit is to provide organisations with a starting point to assess their digital approach.  More comprehensive support and guidance can be found in the presentations from the training sessions, to request a copy of these please email:  info@voscur.org

Assessing your digital approach and the digital tools you use regularly within your organisation may lead you to uncover a skills gap within your organisation. Staff or volunteers may feel they are unprepared or under equipped to use digital tools required in their role. 

You can assess the digital skills and confidence within your organisation using this digital skills assessment tool. It will help you to:

  • Identify, for each staff member and/or volunteer, the digital tools they are using regularly and where they may need support
  • Identify the necessary digital skills an individual needs to fulfill their responsibilities
  • Define learning focus to respond to gaps in knowledge or skills
  • Develop specific learning outcomes which staff and volunteers can work towards

This tool supports the digital skills assessment tool, enabling you to identify how to progress your skills attainment.
