This survey, which should take around 10 minutes, aims to identify digital skills gaps and demand for training in the VCSE sector in the North East and Tees Valley Local Enterprise Partnership areas. We want to gain the views of as many individuals as possible, and recognise that those responding will have varying degrees of existing skills and experience, so the range of training developed in response will need to reflect that.

We recognise the term digital skills means different things to different people. In this survey, the term is used to refer to a broad range of knowledge and skills, which includes how to use digital tools, as well as ways of working.

Thank you for taking the time to share your views and experience; your input is invaluable. All responses will be aggregated anonymously, and the survey will close at 12 noon on September 14th.
