Digital Skills Programme 2022
There are a range of specific challenges facing any business working within the digital space, for those using it for the first time, and for those with some experience. It is more important than ever to ensure that businesses have access to the information, skills and support to take full advantage of the opportunities the digital space offers.
This programme will offer a free package of digital and media skills training with valuable advice, guidance, and practical support from industry experts to enable businesses to enhance their digital capabilities and develop knowledge.
A compelling range of support is on offer:
- short courses on key digitaltopics – such as websites, newsletters, social media, and SEO – that you can listen to or watch in your own time;
- live workshops on Zoom and face-to-face to network with other local businesses, ask questions of industry experts, and apply your new skills;
- checklists, templates, links, and other resources to make sure that your business starts the year on a high.
There are three ways to take part:
- paced workshops, meeting online over five weeks;
- intensive workshops, meeting online over one weekend;
- in your own time with no workshops.
Places are allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis to qualifying businesses – so it’s essential that you apply now. It’s free and takes less than a minute.
Just complete the form on this page. All we need is your name and email address; leave the rest for later, if you like.

We look forward to seeing you soon!
