Digital and Creative Skills for Young People
Dden is a social enterprise that teaches through activity-based learning approaches digital and creative skills to build and enhance the lives of young people aged between 10-12, 13-15, 16-19 and 20-24 who lack the necessary digital skills for school, study, or who are experiencing unemployment, underemployment, or wish to upskill.
The Digital Future
Since the pandemic, many young people in Ireland are unemployed or are in precarious employment. Research shows that young people supported with high quality education and skills training opportunities have an increased chance of building a prosperous life. They need to however be supported to access programmes that build digital and/or creative skills and equip them for further education and/or a job. (Rethink Ireland)
