What Skills Can I Gain?

As you can see from above, Communications is a varied role with a lot going on. This means there is an opportunity to gain skills in many areas and become familiar with tools we use such as Canva, Trello, Office 365, Email Octopus and Amazon AWS. You will also get the opportunity to attend events across the Region and sometimes further afield and work with young people to make sure their voices are heard.
