Connect Me, a part European Social Funded project, ran 2017 – 2020, concluding in March 2020, supporting Coventry’s long term unemployed and economically inactive people, aiming to make it easier for those experiencing barriers, back into employment, education or further training. FabLab Coventry supported participants to learn new skills through entry level courses centred on computer aided design (CAD) and IT, and pre-employment support.
