Empowering Communities with Essential Tech Skills
Digital participation is now a basic need. From applying for Universal Credit to booking a GP appointment, almost every service is moving online. Yet millions—especially low-income households, older people (60+), disabled residents, job-seekers and young people not in education or work—risk being left behind.
Training is delivered both online and face-to-face across Somerset, ensuring language, disability and location are never barriers. Each learner receives a personalised plan and we track progress through pre-/post-surveys and follow-ups at 3 & 6 months, generating the “what works”.
