Digital Skills and Inclusion for the North East.
Covering topics to support local business owners and fellow non-profit organisations with digital webinars, workshops, events and FREE SIM CARDS for those in need.
Our goal is to reduce the digital skills gap, reduce loneliness and boost confidence.
We are dedicated to fostering economic empowerment and entrepreneurial development within disadvantaged communities. With a focus on women and young people, we aim to equip these groups with the necessary digital skills and resources to thrive as successful business owners, entrepreneurs and innovators.
The key geographical area will focus on South Tyneside, Sunderland and Newcastle upon Tyne; up to 50% of these neighbourhoods are income-deprived and women are twice as likely as men, to have less basic IT skills and not likely to be employed (more self-employed).
