The aim of National Coding Week is to give people the opportunity to learn some new digital skills. We are not expecting you to become a coder after one session! For many people it takes years of practice and experience, but these taster sessions can be the first step on a journey into a digital business or digital career.

The digital economy has grown enormously in the past 8 years and clusters of digital businesses are springing up everywhere. It has been reported that 50% of digital product developers are self-taught and as many as 83% of app developers have taught themselves.

There are now more people working in tech jobs in the South East of England than the whole of California but there is a skills shortage and many adults could contribute to the digital economy if only they had the confidence to get started.
