Quickline Communications is boosting digital skills training across south Yorkshire, donating tablets and Chromebooks to help jobseekers and economically inactive parents gain employment.
The devices are being used in initiatives such as a digital skills course for parents, where participants receive a tablet upon completion to help them apply for jobs.
Young jobseekers at the Doncaster Youth Hub are also benefitting from Quickline’s Chromebook donation, supporting them with interview preparation, job searching, budgeting, and more.
Elisabeth Kamaris, Quickline’s social value lead in South Yorkshire, said: “At Quickline, we know that digital access is key to thriving communities, especially in the rural areas we serve, and by donating 15 Chromebooks and 65 tablets we’re helping bridge the digital divide in south Yorkshire.
“By providing this equipment, we hope it will help to empower individuals with the tools they need to access education, job opportunities and essential online services.”
