Skillnet Edinburgh have worked in partnership
with Nisus Scotland to pilot a number of short-term certified
computer training programmes tailored to the needs of black
and
ethnic
minority people.
The last pilot course
finished on 19th August after nine one-day sessions of computer
training. 11 students on this course benefited
from a personalised training plan tailored to address each
individual’s personal career and
educational goals. |
This
course is one of several successful pilots which have explored
the provision of computer
training
specifically to this client group.
Nisus
Scotland and Skillnet Edinburgh are now actively trying to
secure
funding to enable a dedicated project with an exclusive focus
on the IT
training and personal development needs of asylum seekers,
refugees and the black and ethnic minority
community. If successful, the project will commence in January
2004. |
