By broadening your candidate pool, you’ll access overlooked talent, fill roles faster and build teams with up-to-date digital capabilities.
86% of employers expect AI to transform their business by 20301. In a tight talent market, skills-based hiring isn't just progressive – it's strategic.
Candidates from VET programs, bootcamps, microcredentials and industry certifications bring current, job-ready skills combined with real-world experience. They’ve trained on the latest tools and technologies. And many are career changers who bring valuable industry knowledge, professional maturity and diverse perspectives.
These candidates don’t just understand theory; they solve real-world problems. They’ve completed projects and developed practical expertise that translates to business impact.

Backed by industry, government and the training sector
Let’s Get Digital brings together employers, training providers and government partners to build awareness of digital careers and the skills pathways that lead to them. A growing group of organisations, including employers, training providers, industry bodies and government agencies, are backing the 20% Alternative Pathways Pledge, a commitment to open more digital entry-level roles to people coming through non-traditional pathways such as VET, traineeships and micro-credentials. They support this by hiring, enabling or advocating.
This campaign is delivered through FSO’s Digital Knowledge Exchange (DKX) program, in collaboration with the NSW Digital Skills and Workforce Compact, an initiative of the NSW Department of Education.
