WHAT ARE THE WATFORD DIGITAL SKILLS PROGRAMMES?

 

Watford Borough Council has partnered with Branduin Business Support to deliver two digital skills programmes for Watford-based businesses who would like to improve their digital presence and ways of working.   

 

The first was a suite of online digital skills workshops which attracted more than 180 businesses.  The second provided specialist, intensive digital consultancy and skills. 

 

As these come a close we would like to highlight one further opportunity for businesses based in Watford.

Free one hour consultation

 

As part of this exciting programme, we are offering a free one hour consultation with an experienced marketing specialist.

Nicola Ryall is an outstanding marketing professional who can give you hands-on practical tips to help your business or charity grow through digital marketing.

You may wish to have a review of your website and learn how to improve it.  You may need help on how to start, or boost your social media activity, or want to learn how to win new business using LinkedIn and email marketing.

Who can take part?

A business, or charity can take part in the programme if it operates in Watford.

How do I book?

How long does the programme run for?

The programme will close on 31 July 2022, or before if there is high demand.  So book your place now.
