The Click Start Get Into Digital – Accelerate programme is a great opportunity for you to level up your digital skills, designed through a collaboration between The Prince’s Trust and Open University Cymru.
You’ll get the best of both worlds: technical training from the Open University and ongoing support from The Prince’s Trust to guide you on your path toward a digitally-driven career. The Prince’s Trust team will be there to support you every step of the way, from giving you tailored career advice to helping you secure a job after you complete the course. This programme offers a mix of online learning and in-person sessions over 5-weeks, giving you the flexibility to suit your goals and commitments.
You can access free online courses through the Open Learn platform, including Digital Marketing, Social Media Marketing, Content Creation, Digital Transformation, Introduction to Coding, Introduction to Software Development, and more advanced level coding courses too. The list is vast, and aimed at all levels, although Prince’s Trust will work with you to ensure you choose the correct course to match you interests and skill level.
