Our Mission

Knowledge Pool is a digital training organisation. We want to transform the digital capability landscape of our community. We want to train at least 200 learners in 2022 and scale this number up every year, diversifying our audience that started from the job seekers group to elderly, people with disability, immigrants, people from poor background, etc.

Computer Training

Our training has supported a diverse range of people in our community, connecting them with their friends and families online especially during the Covid-19 pandemic. Majority of our learners had no previous digital knowledge before encountering us. Some had little knowledge but required assistance to achieve digital independence.

Events

Our ”Apprenticeship Opportunities and Careers Fair.

Learners Testimonials

“Knowledge Pool has helped me a lot! I have improved on my digital skills including MS package and Business Analysis skills. Yetunde is a great teacher! Very patient and highly intelligent, she will always ensure you not just know it but that you can present it excellently. The mentoring I got from Yetunde has helped me to secure a big job in a major health service organisation in the U.K. I recommend this platform to anyone looking to sharpen their skills. Thank you Yetunde”

“I have worked in Admin for many years, the things I learnt on my course; Excel, Word, PowerPoint etc are immense. Still open to learning. God bless you”

Odinachi, Doncaster U.K

“Initially I was a little cautious to attempt to find applications that are on my computer but I found the information easy to follow and am amazed that it can work on my smartphone too.  I am looking forward to learning more as I go through this book. Also thank you for giving me this book. I didn’t realize there were so many possibilities to better my devices”.

From Elaine

 “ In the weeks Yetunde has been working with our group of Silver Surfers at Age UK Doncaster, she has worked miracles. The group had almost no experience working with digital technology to the extent that they needed to be shown how to switch tablets on and use a touch screen. Now they are using the tablets to help them plan simple tasks, take photos and connect with friends and family. Their confidence has grown, they are less isolated and have formed their own peer support group almost without realising it. I’m so glad we found Knowledge Pool and hope the partnership is here to stay.”

Chief Executive, Age UK Doncaster.

“As everyone adjusted to online meetings in 2020, some people found it difficult. That’s why @Poolknowledge with COVID 19 grant from the foundation, created this booklet that helped people get familiar with online meetings at their own pace”.
