Digital Natives and the Modern Military
The ability to attract the right people into Defence is one of the greatest threats, and opportunities, of our time. Our ability to establish decisive military advantage in conflict is directly linked to our ability to find the right people; digitally-skilled, tech-savvy, mentally-agile, physically-fit and committed. Attracting and engaging with digital natives is the key to the success of Armed Forces across the Western militaries. Win the hearts and minds of digital natives and we win the talent war. Join us on the Digital Natives and the Modern Military podcast, with Sir James Everard, to discuss a path out of the skills crisis unfolding across the West. Powered by WithYouWithMe
