Overview | Digital Halton Creative Skills  

After the success of our Creative & Digital Careers in Halton we have again been successful in securing funding from the European Social Fund,  to provide free  training opportunities in Digital Arts & Technology skills for adults aged 19+ who live in Halton (Widnes & Runcorn). Not only are the projects free of charge, you’ll receive a £30 Amazon voucher for successful completion of a course*.

This project has been designed to enable participants to develop both creative and technological skills, as they learn about pathways into a creative career. We will be providing a wide range of exciting, engaging, hands-on and inspirational workshops, delivered by tutors who have first-hand industry experience.

Who is it for?

• Aged 19 and over
• Resident of Halton Borough (will need proof of address)
• Unemployed (will need proof of this)
• Legally resident in the UK and able to take up paid employment in an EU member state

These sessions are perfect for anyone who is interested in Creative and Digital Technology, but doesn’t know where to start or has very little experience in them but is keen to know more. 

You will need to have basic IT skills e.g. be able to operate a smartphone, be able to login to a computer; all other skills will be taught during our sessions.  

How? 

We understand that everyone learns in different ways and that all potential participants of this project will have had different experiences with education in the past. With this in mind, we have created a range of short courses, and we will be delivering these both online and in person. 

This project will open up a world of opportunities to you when you discover that you can develop the skills necessary to consider a future in the Digital Arts and Technology industry.

Where? 

We will be running projects in Widnes and Runcorn and online. For more details about the locations of courses take a look at the courses section.

When? 

The projects will start at the beginning of November 2021 and will finish mid-December. For more details about the dates of the courses take a look at the courses section.

Costs? 

All of the projects are completely free of charge (in fact you’ll receive a £30 Amazon voucher for successful completion of a course*) thanks to funding from the European Social Fund.
