Objectives

  • To provide learning outcomes enabling those members of the community with few or no ICT skills to learn those skills giving them confidence to use ICT whenever there is a need in their daily life.
  • To provide a learning experience in craft, languages and other leisure areas to enhance personal well being and a community spirit.
  • Transforming our services to remain affordable and effective.
  • To focus our services on those who are disadvantaged and least likely to participate. 
  • To improve employability and close the skills gap.
  • To widen participation and transform social well being by supporting progression.  
  • Our services are aimed principally at those in the community who are classed as being disadvantaged either through social or financial conditions. Courses are organised in all areas of Dacorum, some of which are designated deprived areas. We also work to offer ICT training to small businesses who would normally find it difficult through financial constraints or because of their small size to offer training to staff. 

Activities

  • We organise and run courses in basic computer skills, tablet computer skills, and Microsoft Office Skills to enable those without those skills to give them confidence to use ICT for personal use or to gain employment. We also run courses in craft and cooking to enhance well being, particularly with older people and those with learning difficulties.
  • As an organisation we provide help and services to other local organisations who require ICT skills.
