GMCA (Greater Manchester Combined Authority) and Mayor of Manchester, Andy Burman recently launched a Digital Blueprint — where Greater Manchester sets next chapter towards being a world-leading digital city region. As part of the DTX Manchester launch a promotional video championed the work being done by DISC!
The importance of enhancing digital literacy for all and enabling inclusive pathways into digital careers was emphasised by Caprice, a student at DISC (Digital Independent Specialist College) featured in the video.

“Digital is the future; you have big companies here that are looking for a range of digital skills talent. Greater Manchester has MediaCityUK, ITV and the BBC so for a lot of people, especially those coming out of education it’s a great place to be. I personally believe it’s important for opportunities here in Greater Manchester to be accessible to everyone, anybody of any background — so anyone can get into whatever career they like.” said Caprice.
