Digital Leaders are teaming up with DWP to support their Hack the North event, which is part of a programme of activity linked to the new DWP Digital Centre in Manchester.

Despite Manchester’s growing popularity among top employers and its reputation as one of the UK’s tech hubs, there are still more than 158,000 unemployed people in and around the city. Use your digital skills and creativity to help solve Manchester’s unemployment challenges, and further cement the city’s position as an international cultural and economic hub.

The event will be held across two days, from 4pm to 8pm on Thursday 23 November where there will be presentations from a range of speakers. It will then start again from 9:30am to 6pm on Friday 24 November.

Developers, engineers and data science specialists will be on hand with advice and tips.

Food and refreshments will be provided. Places at the event are limited, so please register now to avoid disappointment.
