Free Tech and Skills Training with IBM SkillsBuild

Volusia County's Transform386 initiative, in partnership with Easterseals, is hosting a series of free IBM SkillsBuild workshops to enhance core technology and essential workplace skills for residents. The workshops, which cover leadership, communication, programming, problem-solving, and writing, align with the skills demanded by today's job market. Participants who complete the workshops will also earn digital credentials to present to potential employers.

The IBM SkillsBuild workshops will be held on the following dates and locations:

• Friday, May 10: 1 to 4 p.m. at the New Smyrna Beach Regional Library, 1001 S. Dixie Freeway.
• Thursday, May 16: 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the Deltona Regional Library, 2150 Eustace Ave.
• Tuesday, May 28: 1 to 4 p.m. at the Daytona Beach Regional Library, 105 E. Magnolia Ave.
• Wednesday, May 29: 1 to 4 p.m. at the Port Orange Regional Library, 1005 City Center Circle.

These workshops are part of the initiative's economic revitalization efforts following Hurricane Ian and are open to all Volusia County residents. No income threshold is required to qualify for participation, and attendance is not limited to those affected by the storm. Due to limited seating, interested residents are urged to reserve their seats by calling 386-943-7029 or emailing transform386@volusia.org.
