Digital Skills Development Workshops
We thought we would start off with the workshops where we could access local trainers, so the first workshops are; Professional podcasting and new media, Social media for beginners and An essential guide to SEO.
Professional podcasting and New Media is being run by Dan Lynch who many of you will know as @methoddan on Twitter. He has run the workshop before for Fact Liverpool back in 2013 and as there was a lot of interest back then we thought thought we would run it again.
Podcasting has only been around since 2005 but already it's become part of the mainstream media. Almost every TV show, radio station and newspaper these days publishes podcasts to complement their offerings. Recording and publishing a podcast can be done by anyone without a large budget and that's the beauty of it, but not everyone can do it well.
On this course you'll learn professional tips from Dan Lynch, a podcaster and audio engineer with years of experience working on some of the most popular technology shows in the world. TWIT.tv, LinuxOutlaws, RatholeRadio and more.
Prices: Workshop prices range from £39 to £99 depending on the type and duration of the workshop.
