Technology Skills in the Workplace

ESS ID: 100568169

This is a 4 week program (2 days a week) for job-seekers that involves simulating a workplace environment, whilst working on a real-world project in a team.

Like many things, the value you get out of this program is going to mostly be determined by the effort you put into it.

During the program, participants will learn about a range of workplace technology skills, meet with employers and industry professionals in the ICT sector, find out about opportunities in the wider technology sector, and practice critical soft skills such as communication and teamwork. Participants will gain confidence, a strong understanding of employment and further education opportunities in the tech industry; as well as learn how to highlight their own skills for future job interviews, applications and portfolios.
