About Us

Digital Skills Hub, in partnership with DWP, has been created to assist 18-24 year olds in Greater Manchester to develop digital skills, signpost career opportunities and prepare members for the world of work.

The Digital Skills Hub offers members a range of free workshops, masterclasses and skills development sessions that will lead into one-to-one sessions with a Skills Coach, the building of a digital CV, identifying pathways into employment and the opportunity to create content* at one of Manchester’s leading creative digital hubs, The Sharp Project in Newton Heath.

The learning is a mix of self-directed online study and live training presented by industry professionals. Digital Skills Hub members will also be able to choose between on-site** and remote learning for all courses. Our Learning Hub is a new physical space at one of the biggest creative hubs in Greater Manchester, The Sharp Project.

*facilities access will be available through a booking system
