What is the Croydon Digital Skills Hub?
The Croydon Digital Skills Hub is a collaboration between Croydon College, John Ruskin College and employers from across Croydon and further afield.
Croydon has a fast-growing tech ecosystem, making it one of the top 10 tech destinations in the UK. Based at Croydon College, the Croydon Digital Skills Hub will support Londoners to gain access to digital skills training, apprenticeships, work placements, and job opportunities, as well as driving to increase digital inclusion across the borough.
The Croydon Digital Skills Hub aims to support both learners and employers by providing them with the skills required in the digital sector and to break down barriers and increase inclusivity in the digital workplace.
What can the Croydon Digital Skills Hub do for me?
We offer a range of free courses in digital skills, from advanced IT User to Cyber Security. Our courses are all delivered online and can be taken at your own pace.
