Young Enterprise Scotland brings forward digital initiative amid Covid-19
The organisation said the extended online digital skills programme was free for senior school and college level students and would help fill a learning gap left in the wake of the Covid-19 lockdown and school closures.
Launched in 2018, the programme covers eight courses which are constantly developed by experts across Accenture and includes key insights into digital marketing, web analytics and user experience.

Geoff Leask, chief executive of Young Enterprise Scotland, said: “We are keen to do all we can to support young people through what is an extremely challenging time for them.
“More than ever, we believe that providing enterprise education is vital for young people to develop the skills they will need to prepare them for a rapidly changing world of work.”
David Caskie, managing director, corporate citizenship, Accenture, Scotland, added: “The Accenture digital skills programme is designed to support a growing digital economy and it is now more important than ever.”
