The regional ICT project will shortly be offering ICT workshops for third sector local infrastructure organisations (LIOs). These will be aimed at development workers and other staff involved in providing support to frontline organisations. The purpose of these workshops is to enable LIO development workers to be more skilled and confident about supporting organisations with their ICT needs. For example, the workshops will provide key tools for signposting organisations to appropriate sources of help, including the wide range of ICT resources which are available online.

Topics covered will include: What help is available to organisations, Benefits of ICT, Costing and funding ICT, ICT planning, DiY health checks, Social media, Other resources and ‘top tips'.  N.B. These workshops have been designed for non-technical staff – you do not need to be an ICT ‘expert' to take part, quite the opposite.

The project would like your help in shaping the workshops. ‘Please to help us finalise the content for upcoming workshops in your area by answering our short questionnaire' :

The survey is aimed at development workers and other staff involved in providing support to frontline organisations. By answering the questionnaire you can also let the project know if you might be interested in attending a workshop.
