Competencies of the Digital Workfoe The digital workforce has developed com technology that may be leveraged at work Makice, 2012). Digital flueney goes beyond simply knowing how to use a fow program or basic applications. Those who are digitally fluent have achieved a level of proficiency that allows them to manipulate information, construct ideas, and use technology to achieve strategic goals (Hsi, 2007). Although digital natives are ofien characterized as having high levels of digital fluids simply because of the ubiquitous nature of technology in their lives, it is experience with technology, rather than generational membership, that best predicts digital fluency (Bennett, Maton, & Kervin , 2008; Oblinger & Oblinger, 2005). Thus, both digital natives and digital immigrants may have the digital fluency that is necessary to utilize technology to manipulate data, creatively represent information, solve problems, and design new products and ways of working. Future research is needed to fully understand how digital fluency may influence job performance and career progression across a range of professions. However, the competencies possessed by a digital workforce go beyond digital fluency. The activities that they engage in provide the opportunities for the development of other skills as well. For example, in his research on how to play online games and interacting in virtual worlds change us, Yee (2014) found that gamers might develop important leader-ship skills while playing massively multiplayer.
