Super busy morning for our network, kicking it off with a webinar hosted by the fantastic Rachael Edmondson-Clarke. 💻👏Today's topic was reflection and how important is for us to take a moment and really analyse how much we have achieved in just one short year. Throughout our lives, our goals get bigger and sometimes without us even realising we have already achieved goals that we set for ourselves a year or two ago.💡🌱 It is extremely important that we take a step back to recognise how far we have come and celebrate the hard work and determination that we have, investing our time in education, work, and personal growth. Hope this event serves as a reminder for all of you to give yourself the recognition that you deserve. ✅Thanks for joining us this morning.

Next Tuesday (11am-12pm), I'll be running the third in our series of roundtable in partnership with Direct Tech Training Scotland Ltd. This time we'll be talking about the digital skills gap, how it impacts your business and what skills academies like DTTS can do to bridge the gap. We'll be discussing questions such as: ❔ What are the biggest challenges for you in finding skilled talent? ❔ Are the skills gaps different for more senior tech roles? ❔ What part do skills academies like DTTS play in the solution? We have a unique opportunity right now to shape the future of skills training in Scotland and we'd love to get a wide range of voices into the conversation: hiring managers, learning & development leads, technical leads and heads of department.
