Develop IT skills

Helping you get started with all things digital in a safe, welcoming place

Do you need help in gaining basic digital skills or simply need access to the internet to manage your online life? Our Digitally Connected suite is for you. We can help you learn how to search the internet, pay bills online, use Microsoft software, fill out forms, use spreadsheets to budget, as well as set up and run your email accounts.

If you are claiming benefits or unemployed, our friendly team of staff and volunteers can help at every stage of your claim, including:

  • Understanding and maintaining your claimant commitment

  • Setting up and managing your universal job match account

  • We can help you recognise your employability skills and help you create a suitable CV

  • We can support you to access education or training opportunities

  • We can help you undertake meaningful job searches through reputable job search engines

  • Help you with applying for jobs and preparing for interview

  • You can access mock CSCS card tests

  • Offer volunteering opportunities within our centre 

In addition, we work with external partners to provide:

  • Offer unique work-shadowing or work experience opportunities
  • Apprenticeship opportunities

  • Support to set up social enterprise or new business

  • Housing support

  • Debt support

  • Saving/money management

IS DIGITALLY CONNECTED RIGHT FOR YOU?

This is what some visitors have to say:

 “I was absolutely hopeless before I came here, but since coming I’ve had help with my CV, and how to do covering letters. In doing so I’ve had numerous interviews and been on two training courses. I’ve also found employment twice, although they were short-term. I will continue until I get the job I really want." Lee

Come and have a go to see what you think

Digitally Connected is open daily from 8.30 a.m. to 5.00 p.m., with no time limitations and free for all local people to use.
