Rural broadband provider Quickline Communications is set to teach essential digital skills to school and college students across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire as part of a new initiative launched this month.
Quickline has teamed up with creative education specialist Engaging Education to upskill and empower the next generation. The organisations have worked together to develop a programme of study that will be rolled out to primary and secondary schools as well as further education colleges across the communities served by Quickline.
It also considers digital deprivation; the barriers to digital access; the importance of digital skills for all; as well as encouraging women into technology roles. Modules and activities taught by Quickline’s social value and engagement team and representatives from Engaging Education have been designed to stimulate conversations with teachers about online safety to help improve safeguarding.
