Boost Your Career with the IT Work Ready Programme

This comprehensive seven-week course, designed to enhance IT confidence and proficiency in Microsoft Office (365), offers a unique blend of classroom learning and real-world work experience.
The programme, supported by the Department of Work & Pensions (DWP) and local employers, includes six weeks of intensive full-time study at the College followed by a one-week work placement with a local business. Participants will have the chance to apply their newly acquired skills in a professional environment, bridging the gap between education and employment.
