Our digital training and learning support team is specially designed to support you in all your ‘’online’’ needs. This project is funded by Public Health at Derbyshire County Council through the Healthy North East Derbyshire Partnership and managed by North East Derbyshire District Council, Bolsover Partnership and the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.’

As COVID-19 has forced more and more of us into our homes and behind our computer screens, paper forms and applications are becoming a thing of the past and those without digital access or skills risk being left behind.

Our service focuses on supporting those who require support in becoming digitally competent, whether in its basic level, to more advanced options to upskill for personal development or career progression. The sessions are FREE and can be accessed virtually and, face to face in outreach locations within community settings.

Our aim is reducing digital exclusion and to give everyone the chance to improve their digital skills to increase accessibility and, confidence with all aspects of the internet and online activities.

We can support with:

• Internet safety – being safe online
• Building your skill base to support future opportunities/needs
• How to use a computer/tablet/mobile
• Employability skills including CV building, Job searching and application,
• Office products like Word, PowerPoint, TEAMS, Google pages
• Use of Email, online Banking and online Shopping
• Using social media to interact with friends and family online
• Accessing services online such as booking appointments, ordering prescriptions and virtual appointments
• Accessing information and guidance such as NHS, GOV.UK, comparison sites, local Council and local news
