Digital Skills for Employment

Setting up digital skills training at community spaces and centres is a great way to help everyone get comfortable with basic computer use—something that's now essential for nearly any job. Whether it's learning to use office software, manage emails, or navigate job search sites, these skills are crucial for staying competitive in the job market. By breaking down digital barriers and making tech skills accessible to all, people can feel more confident and prepared for a range of everyday work situations.

With up to £10,000, community centers can invest in essential equipment like laptops and tablets, as well as user-friendly software to facilitate learning. Funding can also be used for setting up digital training labs or creating interactive learning stations within the center. This capital investment will provide the necessary tools for community members to develop basic tech skills and improve their job prospects across various fields.
