It’s well reported that young people ‘lack skills for the digital age’. In November 2022, The Times reported that ‘85 per cent, of people aged 16 to 24 polled by YouGov believed they did not have the skills needed for today’s digital jobs, potentially endangering economic growth.’
That’s why skills development is at the heart of Apps for Good computing courses, to provide the essential skills needed for the future of work, for example improving young people’s confidence, problem solving, collaboration and communication skills.
We spoke to a group of students from Luton about their experience of Apps for Good courses.
