Remit Training - New Year New Skills - Digital

Why Digital Skills Matter in 2026

Skilled people are hard to find. But holding onto them and helping them grow is even harder.

As we move into 2026, many employers are facing:

  • Persistent shortages in data, IT, software and cybersecurity roles
  • Rising recruitment and contractor costs
  • Increasing reliance on automation and AI-supported tools
  • Greater exposure to operational and cyber risk
  • Pressure to improve productivity and digital maturity

Organisations that treat digital skills as a core business priority, rather than a reactive fix, will be better positioned to adapt, grow and remain resilient.

The Digital Skills Landscape for 2026

Remit Training - New Year New Skills - Digital

Data & Analytic Skills for 2026

By 2026, organisations will need accurate data collection and validation, basic data interpretation across teams, confident use of reporting and dashboard tools, and a strong awareness of data protection and governance to ensure data is used effectively rather than underused or misinterpreted.

IT & Infrastructure Skills for 2026

By 2026, organisations will need strong network and systems administration, effective cloud platform management, responsive user support and troubleshooting, and robust access control and system security to ensure reliable, secure daily operations in a remote-first environment.

Digital Marketing & Content Skills for 2026

By 2026, organisations will need strong website and content management, effective search and social media capability, structured campaign planning and delivery, and ongoing performance analysis and optimisation to drive customer acquisition, retention and revenue growth.

Cyber Security Skills for 2026

By 2026, organisations will need strong threat awareness and prevention, secure system configuration, effective data protection and compliance, and robust incident detection and response capabilities, supported by organisation-wide cybersecurity awareness.

AI, Automation & Data: A Whole-Organisation Challenge

By 2026, employees will need to work confidently alongside automated systems, managers will need to understand the outputs and limitations of AI-supported tools, data literacy will become a foundational workplace skill, and job roles will continue to evolve as technology advances, meaning organisations that invest early will be better equipped to adopt AI safely and effectively.

Why we chose Remit? Automotive is the core for Remit..it’s also their ability to change. The automotive industry is changing massively and it’s changing quicker and quicker and Remit have that ability to change and it’s driven all the way through. We’ve worked with the Scottish arm of the business for some years now and we’ve found that relationship to be really productive so my thoughts would be that would spread across the business, and my thoughts would be correct.
