Digital skills support

An instructor leans over a desk to help a student seated at a desktop computer in a computer lab or library. Bookshelves filled with books line the left side of the room, while several other people work and talk in the background. Multiple computer monitors are visible in the foreground, and natural light streams in through large windows, creating a bright learning environment.

As the digital landscape continues to change, we want to make sure every Salford resident feels supported and confident when using digital technology. The Salford Skills and Work Team is committed to providing digital support to residents who feel digitally excluded or have low digital confidence.
