Future Projects / IT & Digital Skills Hub
IT & Digital Skills Hub
Computers, internet access and training so residents can get online, build confidence and reach the services that shape their lives.
Project summary
The IT & Digital Skills Hub will provide devices, connectivity and one-to-one training, helping residents access everything from Universal Credit and job applications to healthcare and staying in touch with family.
Digital exclusion locks people out of employment, education and essential services. This hub gives residents the tools and skills to take part fully in modern life.
