Bringing training, development and jobs to local communities
Our Approach
At Connexin, corporate responsibility is about showing a strong commitment to the communities around us. We believe that everyone deserves a chance to progress – personally, professionally and as far as possible. We want our own team to grow and develop, as well as taking our local communities on the same training and development journey.
“Our vision for the Connexin Academy is for us to be the biggest IT training centre in Yorkshire with at least an academy in every major city in Yorkshire providing digital skills training to support the ‘digital skills agenda’ the government are now driving.”
