TECwomen have received funding to run digitalUPLIFT as part of the Digital Futures Partnership, managed by Truro & Penwith College, funded by the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. 

 

digitalUPLIFT is a free 9-week skills development programme designed for women*, to provide training, showcase the opportunities within Cornwall’s tech sector and support women into tech jobs or onto a training pathway towards one. 

 

Join us to learn some of the most in-demand tech skills. With content written and developed by industry experts and leading employers in Cornwall. The course will include:

• Intro to Tech/Digital Jobs

• Creating Your Personal Brand

• Business Analysis and Project Delivery

• Coding Workshop

• Artificial Intelligence

 

 *digitalUPLIFT is open to anyone whose gender expression is underrepresented in the tech sector.

 

The aim of the course is to give you a chance to try something new and increase your ability to get a job in tech in Cornwall.  Each session is only 1.5-2 hours long with most being delivered online in pre-recorded videos, so you can learn at a time that works best for you. 

 

Alongside the course content we will also provide: 

• A one-to-one mentoring programme

• Supported online and in-person employability skills development

• Networking opportunities with local employers who actively want to hire more underrepresented people 

• Support with further training pathways and job opportunities
