Shift Click - Intro to Web Development (Starts 26 November)

Ready to explore a future in tech?
Shift Click is MadLab’s free “not a bootcamp” web development programme for anyone aged 18–30, unemployed or underemployed, and living in Greater Manchester.

Over 4 weeks, you’ll go from zero experience to building an interactive website — while developing real tech and workplace skills in a supportive, friendly environment.

Shift Click isn’t a high-pressure sausage factory. We offer holistic support that works for people with part-time jobs, caring responsibilities, or those returning to learning.

What you’ll learn

• HTML, CSS, and JavaScript fundamentals
• How to build an interactive website from scratch
• Debugging, problem-solving, and teamwork
• How real developers work day-to-day
• Professional communication & collaboration skills

You’ll also get

• Careers guidance and employability support
• CV and portfolio advice
• Access to industry tools like VS Code and Miro
• A welcoming community of mentors and peers

Who is this for?

You should be:
✔️ Aged 18–30
✔️ Living in Greater Manchester
✔️ Unemployed or underemployed (e.g., part-time, insecure work)
✔️ Curious about tech — no experience required
