If you’re thinking of joining the world of work soon, or, if you’re looking at retraining, DigiFest is the place to discover the opportunities that are available on your doorstep.

Since Covid, our working lives and our priorities have changed. Jobs that were secure for life are now less certain, less necessary, or less desirable. The ability to work flexibly, and to respond to new markets has led to a jobs boom in the digital world.

For towns like Eastbourne, there are a wealth of new opportunities for those looking beyond traditional employment sectors such as hospitality and tourism. There is now more investment and more opportunities for training and mentorship in the digital world than ever before - as well as the possibility to career-switch from hospitality to tech.

At Digifest, you can speak to the people who are shaping change and find out how you can get involved. Eastbourne is a town at the forefront of social change, and we’re passionate that through investment and education, it will become a leading example of how embracing change is a force for good.
