Any bookings that do not meet all requirements will be cancelled.

ELIGIBILITY – Please be aware that this event its self and the training opportunities discussed at this event are strictly only open to people who meet the eligibility criteria below. Please do not book a ticket for this event if you do not meet ALL of the following criteria: 

  • You must be currently unemployed OR employed part-time working for 16 hours or less per week OR you are on a zero hours contract.
  • You must currently live in 1 of the 33 London boroughs proper, unfortunately any area just outside of London doesn’t count.

Event content – At this event we will be explaining the day to day responsibilities of various entry-level Tech roles including Cloud Computing, Data Analysis, Software Development, Digital Marketing, and IT Support, and sharing information about various FREE bootcamps and other training opportunities that can help you secure one of those roles. We’ll be joined by guest speakers including recent course alumni and professionals who are further along in their careers – you will hear their inspiring stories and have the chance to ask them any questions you might have! We’ll also be joined by representatives from our partner organisations (the organisations that deliver the actual training courses) who will be able to chat with you on a one-to-one basis and help with more specific enquiries.

This event is NOT a recruitment event. There will be no recruitment activity at this event of any kind. This is an information and discussion event designed to raise awareness of the FREE training opportunities available to eligible Londoners.

This event is brought to you by:

London Digital Jobs and Skills Hub – part of the Mayor of London’s Academies Programme. We are on a mission to support Londoners to gain the skills that they need to enter into life-changing Tech careers. The Hub brings together thousands of training opportunities across London, with digital resources, events, and employer opportunities to support unemployed and low paid Londoners to become the diverse tech talent of the future.

The funding provided to London Digital Jobs & Skills Hub is specifically allocated for helping people who meet the eligibility requirements listed above. If you do not meet these requirements, we are unable to help you and therefore this event is not worth your time. If you are aware that you do not meet these eligibility requirements, please do not try to book a ticket for this event. This event has limited capacity, and you would be taking away the opportunity to attend from somebody else who would be able to benefit from the opportunities discussed at the event.
