Digital Boost

Hi Christchurch,

We all love a local success story and this small self-starter company is proof that by upskilling digitally, just about anything is possible.

Setting up or nurturing a business takes more than a good dose of grit and determination, it also requires knowledge and digital smarts.

Steve from Christchurch company Appleby Games knows the reality of working from the ground up, while navigating life's challenges. Through Digital Boost he upskilled and applied new digital skills as he developed his ideas for his small business. In turn, the company expanded much faster than expected!

If you need some motivation to get started or keep going on your digital journey Steve's story is a heartfelt one worth listening to. You’ll find all the inspiration you need to give Digital Boost a go, check it out here.

Having a single place to turn to for honing your digital skills can simplify the process of learning, saving you precious time. Digital Boost is a one-stop-shop for learning all the digital tools you need. So what are you waiting for?

Come and join us!
