Our aim is to facilitate access to further and higher education, training and employment.Our programmes and courses develop essential core skills such as communication, ICT (Information and Communications Technology) and problem solving.  We offer individual support that aims to alleviate wider personal barriers.

Access to Industry

Access to Industry would like to invite Edinburgh parents to our free Access Data Online Taster Session titled “Personal Data Protection.”

About the workshop:
Nowadays our computers, phones, and tablets are filled with personal data – but how can we keep that sensitive information out of the wrong hands? In this workshop, you’ll learn about the most common cyber security attacks, but more importantly how to take steps to protect yourself. You’ll see live demonstrations of attacks and learn how to spot them. These tips will help you feel more confident about using a computer safely, but most importantly the steps you can take to protect the data you hold. No technical knowledge is required.

Learning outcomes:
