IT Courses For Jobseekers

Jobseekers in Fife are getting free help to get the IT skills necessary to find work.

The digital skills courses teach the likes of using emails, job searching, CV building and online safety.

There are no 'term times' to make the scheme more inclusive.

Sheena Watson, lead for digital inclusion at the local authority, said: “We have 35 Digital Skills courses running every week at 19 different venues across Fife, so there’s something that’ll be convenient for everyone. 

The free courses take place in a friendly and informal environment with tutors on hand to support you. And the courses run constantly, so you don’t need to wait for a new term to start; you can start improving your computer skills right away.”

Those interested are urged to pick up the 'Digital Directory' local Council offices, community centres, libraries, Citizens Advice and Rights Fife (CARF), Department of Work and Pensions (DWP), Fife Voluntary Action, or Job Clubs, or to phone the council.
