Low levels of digital literacy among staff is a challenge facing many manufacturing businesses, and strengthening those skills is not only essential to meet rapid technological changes in the workplace, it’s vital to increasing productivity.

“As technology progresses and we move further into Industry 4.0, workers must be upskilled to keep pace with new systems and processes, especially older employees who are not digital natives, but who have invaluable experience in their fields,” says Competenz Sector Manager Jahn Vannisselroy

"I am super sweet and affectionate, but happy with my own company if you need to go out or to work. I am looking for a quiet home with a warm sunny spot so I can soak up the sun and dream. I don't really like sharing my space with other cats, so a home without them would be ideal. I am an older cat, so a home without other animals would be best. I am just looking for a home and I promise not to be a burden. I only ask if someone could brush me once and a while and talk kindly to me."
