University Centre Weston (UCW) and North Somerset Council are teaming up again to give students the opportunity to demonstrate their digital skills to local employers in the 2018 Digital Showcase.

The event, supported by Barclays, takes place from 3pm until 7:30pm at the Law and Professional Services Academy in the Winter Gardens, Weston-super-Mare.

The showcase will see students from the degree in Applied Computing at UCW, which is delivered in partnership with UWE Bristol, present the website and application development projects they have been working on with North Somerset businesses to digital technology experts, with a prize awarded on the night for the best project.

It will also feature expert talks on topics including cyber threats, the General Data Protection Regulation, skills gaps and the development of digital skills, and the Innovation in North Somerset project.

Speakers include Ed Heath from the Avon and Somerset Police Cyber Security team, Steve de-Bruin from Audit West, Angela Hicks from NSEA, Nick Horne from Liverty and Ed Boal from Greg Latchams.

Please confirm your attendance; we look forward to seeing you on the night!
