Businesses across the region are being invited to a free event designed to help organisations strengthen their workforce and prepare for the rapidly evolving digital landscape.
Hosted by North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College (NWSLC), the “Navigating AI and Cybersecurity with CompTIA” event will take place on Thursday 19 March, from 10am to 1pm, at the MIRA Technology Institute in Nuneaton.
By attending the event, businesses can gain valuable insight into how digital skills training can strengthen their workforce, improve organisational resilience and ensure they remain competitive in an increasingly digital economy. Attend and get exclusive free access to the CompTIA ITIQ Skills Assessment — a powerful tool that gives your organisation a clear view of staff IT abilities and highlights any skill gaps.

Experts from CompTIA, the world’s leading IT certification and training body, will be on hand to outline the key challenges facing organisations today. From the growing threat of cyberattacks to the accelerating adoption of artificial intelligence across industries, the session will explore how these developments are reshaping the workplace.
