Business bosses get invite to improve skills

Stirling businesses keen to enhance their digital skills are being invited to sign up to a range of new workshops and tutorials.

A training programme on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is among the sessions being offered as part of the DigitalBoost series.

This comes before new data protection regulations come into force for businesses in May 2018.

The GDPR will give greater protection and rights to individuals on how personal information can be used by organisations holding it.

Sessions will also be running on cyber resilience, digital marketing strategy, advertising, social media and e-commerce.

The free seminars, which are being offered by Business Gateway, are designed to provide firms with the chance to improve their technical and digital knowledge while helping them use such technology to enter new markets, trade internationally, increase efficiencies and potentially employ more staff.

Louise Evison, Business Gateway Stirling, said: “Digital technology opens up new opportunities for all businesses and can help with growth aspirations SMEs may have.

“Knowing how to make best use of digital and how it can impact and protect your business is at the heart of the DigitalBoost programme.”

In addition to the free half-day workshops, one-to-one adviser sessions with digital specialists are also available.
