Facebook is partnering with North West’s Agent Academy and The Extraordinary Club to deliver crucial digital skills training to young people.
This initiative is part of Facebook’s Community Boost programme, enhancing employability in the digital economy throughout Europe.
Agent Academy and The Extraordinary Club have been chosen as key partners in Facebook’s mission to bolster digital skills in the North West. By focusing on providing certified training, these organisations aim to address the skills gap in today’s workforce. This collaboration signifies a pivotal step towards preparing the youth for future employment opportunities in a rapidly changing labour market.
Freeformers and Facebook, through this initiative, strive to equip 75,000 individuals across the EU with necessary skills, specifically targeting those aged 18 to 30. The first cohort of this programme is being introduced at The City of Liverpool College.
Director Zoe Wallace emphasizes the urgency of equipping young people with the skills required to adapt and thrive in the digital workplace. The partnership with Facebook further solidifies their commitment to bridging the skills gap.
The collaboration with Facebook enables The Extraordinary Club to extend its influence further, providing extensive growth opportunities for North West talent.
