Our take
The demand for digital skills in the workforce is getting bigger. According to a 2021 study by WorldSkillsUK, 60 percent of businesses believe that their reliance on advanced digital skills is set to increase over the next five years, while 88 percent of young people realise that their digital skills will be essential for their careers. Further, under half of UK employers (48%) believe that young people are leaving full-time education with sufficient advanced digital skills.
It looks, then, like the need for high quality training in digital skills is higher than ever, and this is sure to be a good thing for Circus Street. A specialist provider of online training in digital skills, Circus Street partners with commercial, marketing and training leads to specifically design learning paths that meet the individual needs of their business.
Founded in 2009, Circus Street has proven highly successful - the company has over 500,000 people using its services in more than 150 countries. Its clients include the likes of Nike, Nestle, Pfizer, P&G, and Coca-Cola. It is also used by 80% of the FTSE-100.
Now, following a 2021 acquisition by QA, Circus Street's strategy is aimed at expanding across its core regions of the Americas, EMEA and APAC.
