DIGITAL SKILLS FOR WOMEN

TECWomen CIC and Truro and Penwith College have launched a free-to-access, online technology skills course designed specifically for women.

The ten-week DigitalUPLIFT course has proved so popular - fully subscribed within a week - that a second one has been announced for September.

Caitlin Gould, founder of TECWomen, said: “Cornwall has a thriving technology sector - but not nearly enough women are part of it. By launching this course, we hope to help close the gender gap in Cornwall’s technology sector and encourage more women to recognise the value that they can bring to this kind of work and to pursue careers in this field.”
