The speed of digital change cannot be underestimated, and the Digital Skills for Defence programme will help us match global competitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis agreement with AWS exemplifies our focus on harnessing cutting edge ways of working within defence, drawing on the expertise of the public and private sectors, and we\u2019re excited at the new opportunities for skills development this presents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Charles Forte, chief information officer at the MoD, said: \u201cAmazon\u2019s agreement to build upon and scale up our work within the Digital Skills for Defence programme is a crucial priority that will help us realise digital transformation across defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt serves as an important symbol of how we must deepen our work with the tech sector to realise our objectives. We are grateful for this commitment and look forward to developing this partnership with AWS and other companies and organisations across the sector.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"320\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/supplychaintechnology.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/img_7594-1024x512.png?resize=640%2C320&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1327\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.supplychaintechnology.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/img_7594.png?resize=1024%2C512 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.supplychaintechnology.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/img_7594.png?resize=300%2C150 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.supplychaintechnology.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/img_7594.png?resize=768%2C384 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.supplychaintechnology.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/img_7594.png?w=1200 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MoD brings in Amazon to boost tech skills of Armed Forces leaders The Ministry of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":1327,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1305","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-education"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.3 -
