Upskilling programme for the digital transformation
Everyone should be able to live, learn, work and participate in the digital world
What is this programme about?
Our jobs are changing, and fast. Many roles are disappearing altogether, while new ones are springing up from nowhere. PwC research shows that 30% of jobs are at risk from automation by the mid 2030's. The discrepancy between the skills people have and those needed for jobs in the digital world is one of the most critical problems of our time.
Who is it for?
This programme is open for all professionals with different backgrounds and across varied industries. The mission of this programme is to inspire and enpower professionals to apply the necessary human, data and tech skills required today to address the fourth industrial revolution challenge and the transformation that it brings with it.
Can it be tailored to my company's needs?
Yes, the Academy team will be happy to design a learning journey that fits your current process or planned transformation.
Upskill yourself through 3 learning journeys.
Learning Journeys
Business Skills Learning Journey
There’s nothing soft about ‘Soft Skills’
How do people maintain their value in an everchanging world in which all can perform many high value tasks?
We must revamp how and what we teach to nurture critical skills of passion, curiosity, imagination, creativity and critical thinking and persistence. No one will be able to thrive without these abilities and our journey will help people acquire and improve on them.
Learning Sprints
The journey will help participants to:
- Solve complex problems by thinking creatively and critically
- Re-imagine the future through design thinking and user centricity
- Lead teams through challenging times by booting team productivity
- Make change happen by building blocks of digital transformation
Learning Methodology
- Four learning sprints over sixteen hours
- Project based learning after every learning sprint
- Online bite-sized self learning
- Change mentoring over the whole three journeys
Data Skills Learning Journey
It's all about the DATA!
Big, real-time data is generated in an organisation every day. It’s an asset they already own, but it’s useless unless transformed and used for decision making.
If data is used to drive the organisation’s decision process, entities need to enhance the quality of their data. Entities need to understand different technologies and processes to efficiently gather, transform and model data from various disparate sources. For entities to maximise their performance, they need to apply appropriate analytical techniques to gather insights from their data.
Learning Sprints
The journey will help participants to:
- Create a solid data governance framework to ensure good data quality. (Data Governance)
- Acquire skills to gather relevant structured and unstructured data from multiple data channels. (Data Gathering)
- Build the right data models to be the foundations for effective analytics (Data Modelling)
- Become a data-driven organisation using innovative analytical and visualisation techniques to make faster and better informed decisions. (Data Analytics & Visualisations)
Learning Methodology
- Four learning sprints over sixteen hours
- Project based learning after every learning sprint
- Online bite-sized self learning
- Change mentoring over the whole three journeys
Tech Skills Learning Journey
What does your organisation's future look like?
Exponential technologies are providing innovation and disruption on massive scale. The dynamics of markets and society are changing. Are you ready for such disruption?
Organisations embracing a disruptive future must understand how the right mix of technology-based models and related training are the best combination to secure a competitive edge.So organisations looking at exponential technologies should not only be asking ‘how can technology help us work better, cheaper and faster?’ but, they should be asking ‘how can we fundamentally digitally transform what we want to do?’
Learning Sprints
The journey will help participants to:
- Establish an AI strategy to create business value to solve everyday problems at scale. Learn about A.I. software services, robotic process automation and internet of things (IoT).
- Create, train and evaluate a Machine Learning model for improved scoring and generating accurate predictions. Enhance the predictive model through coding techniques.
- Learn to grow exponentially by navigating the new era of centralised and decentralised digital services. Understanding general, service and technical management services to scale the digital infrastructure from centralised to cloud or distributed architecture.
- Acquire skills to understand blockchain architecture and analyse high-level use cases in preparation to deploy services in a digital economy.
OR
- Deploying and transforming digital services entails learning how to ensure your cyber security defenses are effective and embrace a risk-based culture to secure a healthy digital future.

Our foundation course: Digital Transformation Principles
This is a jam packed half day hands on session open to all professionals across industries. The idea is to be inspired to participate in digital transformation, engage in the subject, elaborate your knowledge and evaluate your understanding. Our business transformation team will give you insight to what digital transformation exactly is and why it is imperative for organisations to embrace it. They will help you understand the building blocks of digital transformation, and will work with you to help you apply a framework to case studies.
You will be challenged to think and map out how disruption will effect the world of your work and your role growing an awareness around your skills gaps and those of your people. This session can be considered an ideal foundation session to undertake PwC's Academy 3 learning journeys - Exponential Human, Exponential Data and Exponential Technology.
