A WOMEN-ONLY Skills Training and IT programme will be run by Christ Church University College, Canterbury, and partly funded by the European Social Fund.

It offers an opportunity for women to work together, build confidence and refresh their work skills and business knowledge over six months.

The programme will run from April and will allow for flexible arrangements during school holidays.

It is intended particularly for older women who might face ageism from employers, or have been unemployed for some time. To reduce the problems of returning to study, a substantial part of the course is devoted to personal development and confidence building.
