Social Media Training for Youths (Smt4y)

we bring local businesses/individuals in the community together to expose them to digital & tech skills and solutions. we started as a project in 2014 self-funded with £300, by founder deborah. our aim then was to engage unemployed young people with in-demand technology and digital skills in the current economy demand. we deliver events, training and master-classes centred on both digital & tech skills in demand, the idea was to equip unemployed young people age 16-25 with the skills. from april to november 2014 we received and were inducted in the o2 & telefonica (think big project) where we received further funds for exhibiting at skills london 2014. after a number of research we have identified that sme’s also struggle with tech & digital skills, and instead of equipping unemployed young people with skills for bigger corporations, we equip them with tools (skills) needed. smt4y is now a community/local platform targeted at individuals and sme’s not equipped with digital and tech ski
