Join the Workforce of the Future (WftF) Digital Skills Team for an interactive workshop introducing you to the fully funded programme, which supports SMEs in the West of England region to develop their digital skills and capabilities.

The session will provide you with an opportunity to hear about the full range of support the programme can offer; experience one of our fully funded workshops from our suite of training you’d have access to, to develop your digital skills; and work with the Digital skills Team to identify your challenges and future digital skills needs to set out further support options we can create for you.

“I have recently registered for the WtfF programme and gone through their initial digital health check process which has identified gaps in our knowledge and led to the development of a tailor-made action plan.I am confident that through this targeted approach the WtiF programme will equip us with the tools to drive forward with our business growth.

"The onboarding process could not have been more simple and the array of courses on offer makes this programme applicable to so many. A great experience so far and highly recommended.”
