Overview |Explore Creativity in Halton
Explore Creativity in Halton sessions are part of our Creative & Digital Careers in Halton programme which (thanks to European Social Fund) provides free training opportunities for Digital Arts & Technology skills to unemployed adults aged 19+ who live in Halton (Widnes & Runcorn).
These short courses will run over 4 weeks, consisting of 4x 2 hour sessions, which will be delivered online.
They have been designed to enable you to develop both creative and technological skills, as you learn about pathways into creative careers.
As part of this project, we’re offering 2 courses:

Through expert tuition, small class sizes and access to a variety of digital arts and technology equipment and software, 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.
During these sessions you will be encouraged to further enhance your skills and knowledge outside of the classroom, by completing the iDEA (inspiring digital enterprise award) award Bronze.
