“The advance of technology is based on making it fit in so that you don’t really even notice it, so it’s part of everyday life.”
Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft
The Digital Track programme is now complete however, we’d love to hear from other businesses seeking similar support to see how we might be able to support you.
To find out more contact us through the TEDCO Initial Enquiry Form here.
Individuals in the North of Tyne area and Gateshead who are looking to start their own business (or in the early stages of trading) can find out about support here.
Growing your business using that principle is what the TEDCO Digital Track Programmes are all about; through marketing, leadership and growth.
Explore the next steps for your North of Tyne business at these fully-funded short courses and workshops.
Dedicate yourself fully and you’ll be much closer to expanding your business. The commitment is just 4 interactive learning sessions. We’ll meet in-person at the beginning of the programme then the sessions are delivered remotely via Zoom in a cost-effective, time efficient and low carbon manner. That means whether you’re near Tweedmouth, Tynemouth or Kielder Water, you’ll gain encouragement and confidence in your own space.
