We are thrilled to let you know that the award-winning Click Start programme by Durham University’s TechUP Women and Catch22 will be running for one final time, starting in February 2025 and applications are now open.
This is free and fully funded course delivered online. The tech element is delivered by Durham University and learners are allocated an industry mentor. Learners also receive 6 months of employability support from Catch22 Employment coaches.
If you know of anyone who might be interested in this opportunity, then please send their details to Gareth.moore@catch-22.org.uk and I will be in touch to advise on the next steps.
