Over the two days the training will focus on developing an understanding of digitisation for your organisation, and identifying paths forward to digitisation and the provision of digital access. Working through the steps of PLAN – PREPARE – DIGITISE – SHARE, the two days will include training modules, workshopping, case studies and presentations from our Technology Partners. Please note, the workshop will not include hands-on sessions with digitising equipment.
