We worked together with Northcoders to create a programme to cover personal development, skills development and creating a network.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re also offering a creche on site to help with childcare as we know people may not have access to it or may not want to go too far from young children \u2013 so we have space near the course and a qualified nursery team to help.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tech Returners is part of a bigger project which will see further workshops take place and the launch of an app in the New Year. The skills gap in tech is on the\u00a0Northern Powerhouse agenda, focused on finding future leaders and talent.<\/p>\n<p>Taylor\u00a0continued: \u201cThis is a chance for us to make returnships accessible to everyone. The Landing at MediaCity has an extremely strong community and is fantastic at bringing talented businesses together to offer opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maya Dibley, head of programmes and partnerships at The Landing, added: \u201cCLOS was one of our first business partners on site and we were delighted to help bring Rebecca together with other tenants Barclays Eagle Lab and Northcoders to deliver Tech Returners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want The Landing to be the go-to environment for emerging tech and digital companies and we offer unique incubation and superb facilities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur businesses contribute more than \u00a325m to the Greater Manchester economy, as well as over 600 jobs in the Salford community. We are pleased to help our tenants in any way we can.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tech Returners, an initiative which develops the skills of people returning to or entering tech roles after a career break, is launching an Introduction to Coding course.
