Future Skills: Bridging the Digital Divide

RDS Foundation Festival - Finding Common Ground : Future Skills: Bridging the Digital Divide

15th April 2026 4-6pm

Artificial intelligence is already reshaping how we live, learn and work. The question is not whether change is coming, but whether Ireland is ready for it. Future Skills: Bridging the Digital Divide brings together leaders from industry, education and policy to explore how we equip people with the skills needed for a fast-changing digital economy. As technology moves at pace, this session creates space for practical, cross-sector discussion on how we respond together. Through expert panels and facilitated discussion, we will examine how to close digital skills gaps, strengthen education and training pathways, and develop policies that ensure opportunity is shared across society. This session is for educators, business leaders, policymakers, students and members of the public who want to understand what the future of skills really means for Ireland and how we prepare for it.
