We are focusing on this programme on responses and service affected by COVID-19.
The training is for any charity worker (not necessarily in a specific ‘digital’ team) who is starting out with digital and is new to user-led, test-driven design. The person doesn’t need to have previous experience in Product Management, but should be open to learning the skills to help their organisation make use of technology to deliver their services. It’s important that this person understands the challenges facing their organisation.
Applications are open to individuals from established charitable organisations with between £10k-£100m annual income.
Ideally we’re looking for decision-makers, who will be able to put the methods learnt directly into practice and are in a position to further develop ideas, e.g. through allocating internal resource or grant-funding applications. You should also have a good understanding of your charity’s existing services and the challenges in providing them.
Each charity lead will bring an idea of a problem they’d like to solve and will work together on designing solutions to a common problem.
The session will be hosted on Zoom and we will use Miro and Figma during some of the workshop activities.
There is no financial cost to this training. The cost is your time commitment and energy to engage with two other charity leads as well as developers and coordinators over the six weeks.
You’ll need to commit between 20-30 hours over six weeks.
