Description

Winchester City Council is looking for a delivery partner to run group workshop sessions, bespoke one-to-one tutoring and accredited courses to support and train basic digital skills to the district's residents. The training will take place in public spaces that are easy to access for residents across the district. This project's aim is to tackle digital exclusion and support the basic digital skills of the Winchester district residents, which in turn supports the district's overall skills and increases employability. This programme of face-to-face work will be covering the entire Winchester district, which includes: • Winchester city centre • Alresford • Bishop's Waltham • Wickham • Denmead and • The other rural areas on the map below. The project will be personalised and work with individuals on a case-by-case basis (through a mixture of one-to-one interventions, group workshops and accredited courses). The research already undertaken through the Digital Winchester project has shown us that residents need support around measures that are included in the full Request to Quote pack. The aim is to target groups such as older people, unemployed and employed persons, disabled adults etc that do not have these essential digital skills or the confidence or income to learn them. Tackling not only digital exclusion, but also digital poverty. The project will help residents to overcome challenges that they are facing through the current cost-of-living crisis, build resilience, improve confidence and support them in developing the digital skills needed to move into higher quality jobs and training opportunities within the district. These activities will be: • one-to-one bespoke sessions based in the location where the resident is located at a time that is convenient to them. • workshop sessions visiting existing community groups: e.g. Winchester Gold. The community group can decide the theme of the workshop based on their attendees needs such as digital security. • the completion of accredited Outlook or Office courses with a certificate upon completion.
