Starting in Manchester this August, MadLab is running a free community-powered skills festival for residents aged 17-64 across Longsight, Levenshulme, and Woodhouse Park.
If you want to make the tech in your life work for better for you – whether you’re looking to simplify your day-to-day, stay connected with friends and family, build the skills and confidence to find work, or start and grow your business online – then come along and get involved!
A range of activities are on offer – workshops, and one-to-one advice, expert career coaching, masterclasses, tech socials, and more.
We’re also running a series of short courses in September – covering everything from Microsoft Office and digital marketing through to accessing apps and services, and staying safe online.
Interested? Come along to a welcome session and meet one of our community experts, get a digital skills “check-up”, and sign up for a course.
