Sky has joined forces with MAMA Youth Project to provide digital media content creation training in Manchester.
The 6-week intensive programme will be targeted at 18-30 year olds and aims to tackle digital inequality.
“Sky’s partnership with MAMA Youth is focused on unlocking opportunities for young people in Manchester,” said Dana Strong, Sky’s Group CEO.
“The digital media training programme helps young people to gain the vital skills required to get started and succeed in the media industry. I’m proud of our partnership with MAMA Youth and that Sky supports young people to fulfil their potential.”
It will take place for the first time in Manchester at the University Academy 92, Old Trafford from July.
“Building on over ten years of partnership, Sky is committed to helping MAMA Youth Project bring its impactful training opportunities to underserved communities across the UK as part of Sky Up, Sky’s £10 million commitment to tackle digital inequality,” added MAMA Youth Project, CEO & Founder, Bob Clarke.
As well as gaining digital skills, participants will get help with CVs, interview technique advice, career mentorship and peer networking opportunities.
