AI Everywhere: What DigComp 3.0 Means for VET and Learner Suitability

Let’s be honest. AI is no longer some future-focused concept sitting off to the side waiting for us to catch up. It is already built into the tools people use every day to write, search, plan, create, communicate and solve problems. That is exactly why DigComp 3.0 matters for our vocational education and training (VET) sector.

One of the biggest shifts in the updated framework is that AI has been added and embedded across digital competence quite broadly. For RTOs, that matters because there is a clear framework about what digital competence is. It is about whether learners can participate effectively, safely and critically in increasingly digital learning and work environments.
