Aligning to the Government Skills Framework 2026
Digital Skills Consulting offers practical, employer-led learning experiences for 16-to-19-year-old students, developing the digital, business, transferable and employability skills they need to progress into employment, apprenticeships, higher education and further learning.
The Project aligns strongly with four key areas of the current education and skills landscape:
- Essential Digital Skills Standards 2026
- Framework for Transferable Skills and Work-Related Behaviours 2026
- Gatsby Benchmarks
- Ofsted Further Education and Skills Framework and FE employability expectations

The Gatsby Charitable Foundation
In 2015, David Sainsbury was asked by the UK government to chair a panel of experts that would provide clear recommendations for measures that would not only improve, but transform, technical education in England. The panel’s report was published alongside the government’s Post-16 Skills Plan in July 2016.
The Digital Skills Project and related workshops & activities, has been delivered to around 20,000 students over the past ten years and helps with the delivery of T-Levels, and in particular employer engagement.
The Gatsby Charitable Foundation sponsored a report on the Project relating to T-Levels which can be viewed here.
