Staff hand out tips on getting computer skills

Jobseekers and people wanting to enhance their online skills were given the opportunity to tour an American-style bus and sign up to free computer courses when it arrived in Cannock for a day.

The big blue Winnebago was parked in the town centre. Kitted out with some of the latest learning equipment, the Pertemps People Development Group (PPDG) bus was on hand to provide information to people regarding free computer courses.

Employment and training experts from the Cannock branch of PPDG, who are based in Mill Street, were on hand to sign people up to free online computer courses.

Staff from PPDG handed out information on www. myguide.gov.uk — which free and easy to use courses from the basics of getting started on a computer to using email and understanding how to shop online.

PPDG are working alongside Learndirect to offer people the opportunity to hone their online computer skills.
