Background to the Digital Skills Portal
Developing the digital confidence of planners, across Scotland, has been integral to the Scottish Government’s Digital Transformation Programme. To assist in achieving this, the Digital Team have worked in collaboration, with the Royal Town Planning Institute (RTPI) Scotland to support the improvement of digital skills in planning. That’s where the Digital Skills portal comes in. An online resource to help build-up understanding and highlight opportunities for training, for all planners, regardless of their ability or role. With thanks to our Delivery Partners who have helped throughout.
