这项拟议的研究探索了威尔士高等教育学生的就业能力技能，特别是考察了他们与数字技能差距和技术失业情景的关系，这是雇主越来越多地使用人工智能(AI)软件和数字技术造成的。具体地说，这项研究将解决与威尔士制造业数字技能短缺和毕业生就业能力技能相关的问题，为数字经济、工作和就业以及技能形成领域的研究做出贡献。它采用定性的方法，重点采访了制造业中的高等教育学生和雇主(目前将食品和饮料部门作为威尔士不断扩大的经济部门的目标)。将遵循以安全和合乎道德的方式与年轻人(18-25岁)进行研究的适当程序，并确保对企业对商业战略的敏感性保密(与雇主面谈)。孤独的研究人员和新冠肺炎的问题得到了认可和考虑。

The proposed research explores higher education students' employability skills in Wales and, in particular, examines them in relationship to digital skills gap and technological unemployment scenarios, resulting from employers' increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) software and digital technologies. Specifically, the research will address questions related to digital skills shortages and graduate employability skills in Wales's manufacturing sector, contributing to research in the fields of digital economy, work and employment and skills formation. It employs qualitative methods, focused on interviews with higher education students and employers within the manufacturing sector (at present targeting the food and beverage sector as an expanding sector of the economy in Wales). Appropriate procedures for conducting research in safe and ethical ways with young people (18-25) will be followed, as well as ensuring confidentiality on corporate sensitivities with regard to business strategy (employer interviews). Lone researcher and Covid-19 issues are recognised and accounted for.
