Skills Development Scotland (SDS) is on the lookout for a new chair for its Digital Economy Skills Group (DESG).
DESG is a collective of industry and public sector experts which meets regularly to shape the delivery of national activity to help plug the country’s digital skills gap.
Ross Tuffee recently stepped down after three years in the role, commenting: “It’s been a real pleasure and privilege working with SDS and my fellow DESG colleagues to help influence and drive the digital skills agenda in Scotland.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for someone to make a lasting and impactful difference to Scotland’s wider economy and not just the tech sector.”
SDS say they are keen to appoint a Chair from outside the tech industry, as digital skills are now so important and prevalent across the entire Scottish economy.
“We are keen to get applicants from a wide range of backgrounds, as having different experiences and points of view is a key strength of the DESG,” Phil Ford, head of digital economy and financial services for SDS said.
“We would welcome applications from outside the technology sector, recognising that the digital economy now encompasses all of Scotland’s businesses. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Ross for his commitment and hard work over the last three years. He has helped us and the DESG deliver so much in his time as Chair.”
