SAY is working with ‘Click Start London’ to provide an amazing opportunity for young Londoners aged 18-25 to secure employment or apprenticeships in the digital/tech sector! ‘Click Start’ is a free 4-week digital skills course that has live opportunities with industry-leading companies, including Amazon, BT Group, Cisco, QA, and small and medium businesses across London.
We would particularly like to encourage females and those from underrepresented groups to take part.
The 4-week programme is in-person and will be delivered at Morley College (North Kensington), Wornington Road, W10 5QQ from 16th May – 14th June 2024. The course provides training in the fundamentals of digital marketing, social media management, business ownership, client-facing skills, and data analysis with certificates in Google Digital Garage and Excel. Candidates will also receive class-based and 1:1 sessions on improving CVs, cover letters, interview techniques and building confidence and professional work skills, and will get the opportunity to work collaboratively with real life tech companies to pitch ideas to boost their businesses. As well as this, over the four weeks, learners develop original business ideas in teams – from paper posters to professional business pitches, including websites, social media, and mock apps, which they then present during a ‘dragon den’-style event at the end of the programme in front of industry experts!
For up to 6 months after the course, candidates will receive employability support to empower them towards an apprenticeship, job or other positive outcome. As well as this, throughout the programme and at future networking events, candidates will be supported to explore pathways into digital careers and apprenticeships with industry-leading companies, including Amazon, BT Group, Cisco, QA, and small and medium businesses across London.
To be eligible for the programme, candidates must be:
- Aged 18-25
- Based in London
- Not in employment, education or training during the course.
During the 4-week programme travel and lunch will be covered for candidates.
