Digital skills can be hard or soft, and it’s best to have a mixture of the two if you want to be able to communicate effectively. Hard skills are the basic practical skills that help you to navigate social media, use software and get the most out of video conferencing platforms.

These skills include things such as adapting your language to suit an online discussion or learning how to pick up on body language or tone of voice over video calls.

Create a solution
