What young people need after the first digital skills workshop

The first workshop can spark confidence, but recurring practice and guided next steps turn that spark into a pathway.

A first workshop is powerful because it changes what a young person believes might be possible.

But confidence needs repetition. Learners need a place to practise, ask questions, make mistakes, and see progress.

The strongest programme routes treat exposure as the beginning of a pathway, not the end of the intervention.
