#DoingDigitalDifferently
Today is the first-ever Greater Manchester Digital Skills Day. #GMDigitalSkillsDay will encourage people across the region to do something digital.
During the event, companies and individuals are encouraged to promote digital skills and inspire young people in schools all across Greater Manchester to have a go at learning digital skills. It is all about challenging themselves and exploring the many career opportunities available to them in the future.
Digital skills are vital across a large number of sectors and are a common skill employers look for when hiring new candidates. Digital skills cover subjects such as IT, Digital Marketing and Software Development. It also integrates into most jobs as we rely more and more on technology in the workplace.
It is also extremely useful in everyday life, as more companies switch to digital methods over traditional paper methods as part of their digital transformation.
How we are getting involved
The B2W Group is involved with digital skills every day. We provide a range of digital-based qualifications across our provisions, including our Pre-Apprenticeship Training, Digital Marketer Apprenticeship, Distance Learning and Pre-Employment Training.
Today we are focusing on our Pre-Apprenticeship Training course, ‘Introduction to Digital Technologies’, which equips learners with the knowledge and skills needed for their future careers in digital, as well as aiding them with the necessary employability skills to secure their new role.
As it is also National Apprenticeship Week, it is a great opportunity to focus on digital progression through apprenticeship programmes.
What are learners have to say
For those considering a career in digital, we spoke to our learners to ask them what the most valuable thing they have taken away from the course so you can get an idea of how it can benefit you! Watch the full video below:
