A NEW ‘lockdown academy’ has been launched offering access to a programme of free ‘bitesize’ online courses.
Organised by Worcestershire County Council the courses cover a wide range of digital skills that could prove really useful once lockdown is fully lifted.
The ‘Accenture Digital Skills’ courses from leading education provider, FutureLearn are designed to help people build confidence about digital skills, which they can then take forward to help gain a job or begin the process of starting a business.
In addition learners will receive a certificate for each course completed.
The introduction sessions will be accessible using Zoom and will provide potential learners with an opportunity to gain advice and support from library and learning staff regarding online learning.
The course webinars will take place at 11am on Wednesday mornings with the next session planned for June 10 focusing on Social Media. They all start at 11am and the full list of sessions available cover:
Social Media – June 10, Digital Marketing – June 17, User Experience – June 24, Web Analytics – July 1, Mobile – July 8, Retail – July 15.
