Include-IT Mersey Project
Age UK Wirral’s Include-IT Mersey Digital Inclusion Project offers IT skills training and employment support for local Wirral residents aged 16 years old and over.
Include-IT Mersey is a project, jointly funded by the United Kingdom Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSP). Delivered by Age UK Wirral, the project will provide a personalised package of support to digitally excluded residents of Wirral and Liverpool City Regions. The project aims to help improve their IT and online skills, give confidence and practical access to digital technologies, offering help and support towards becoming work ready and ultimately into employment. Led by Sefton CVS, this innovative multi-agency partnership really cares about their local communities.
Age UK Wirral will be running the 6-week courses until the end of December 2024 at various locations across Wirral.
Tutor and Project Coordinator for Age UK Wirral John Edgar says:
“We are very pleased to have been given the opportunity to continue to run our courses throughout the Wirral. Unfortunately, there are still many Wirral residents who have been digitally excluded for a variety of reasons. Our intention is to reduce this digital divide by providing local Wirral people with the essential digital skills required to improve their future prosperities. This can include, looking for work, accessing local services or just providing the IT skills required to search online to help further educate themselves.”
This project will help learners to develop their IT skills, access online services and digital technologies and they will receive the best possible service, whatever their starting point. The course also includes employability and personal skills development to support people into or closer to employment.
Developing IT skills and getting online can open a completely new world to people in many ways!
