Julie delivered a masterclass entitled:

Drawing on Cosmic’s experience in digital inclusion, employability and workforce development, Julie explored how the right skills, confidence and support can help more people take part in our increasingly digital world.
Digital and AI skills are now essential for learning, work and entrepreneurship. Everyone deserves the opportunity to develop them.
The feedback received from Cerian at the British Council:
"Thank you for your great session today. A lot of interest, and colleagues wanting to explore further frameworks and models."
