The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) is creating opportunities for the public and key stakeholders across the public, private and third sectors to come together to discuss how best to improve digital inclusion and skills in the West Midlands.
They are inviting people to join them on this webinar where attendees will have the chance to learn, connect and help shape thinking in this very important policy area.
You will:
• learn about the latest insights/findings from industry experts and thought leaders.
• connect with others, be able to exchange ideas, potentially setting the foundation for
working together again in the future.
• help shape future digital inclusion and skills programme delivery.
This event is for those who are/have:
• developing and delivering digital inclusion and skills projects and initiatives in the
West Midlands.
• community organisations that are delivering services to those impacted by the cost-
of-living crisis and/or living in poverty.
• capturing and publishing data on poverty and the links to digital inclusion and skills.
• lived experienced of benefitting from digital inclusion and skills projects.
• have strong interest in the digital inclusion and skills.
The WMCA recently updated the West Midlands Digital Roadmap, with support from its key partners which includes the seven metropolitan councils across the region.
The updated roadmap sets out how we will work together to achieve our joint ambitions of making the region truly digitally inclusive. There is a specific section of the roadmap which is dedicated to preventing digital exclusion by supporting residents to have better connectivity, digital skills and access to devices and equipment.
