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.
