Across the Tay Cities Region, digital skills are transforming lives, from young people overcoming personal challenges to entrepreneurs growing their businesses. One example is the partnership between Perth Autism Support and UHI Perth, delivering a tailored Digital Skills Programme for autistic young adults.
Participants who were once isolated and anxious, are now thriving—gaining confidence, making friends, and progressing toward computing qualifications. Entrepreneurs like Cheryl Johnstone and Hannah Fleming have revitalized their ventures using AI, social media, and digital marketing tools.
An unique archaeology project in Dundee empowered 12 migrant women to explore digital tools through heritage work, building skills in 3D scanning, data visualization, and storytelling.
This programme is more than a course, it’s a launchpad for confidence, connection, and future opportunities.
