Free online courses to develop digital skills

Young people will be able to access free online courses to develop digital skills in a new programme aimed at opening the technology industry to underrepresented groups.

The Click Start courses will focus on building technical and professional development skills for people aged 18-25 in groups including women, disabled students and those from low-income households.

Over 30 courses will be made available free for eligible learners by the University of Leeds and leading global organisations through online learning platform Coursera, funded by a partnership between Nominet and the Institute of Coding.
