Ready to Work East Riding

20/10/2025

This week is Get Online Week and our colleagues across East Riding of Yorkshire Council are sharing how we’re supporting residents to get online 👩‍💻

In today’s world, getting online is crucial. It’s shown 👇

🛠️ 90% of jobs are only advertised online - yet polling shows over a quarter of people aren’t confident using the internet to compete for jobs.
🛒 Shopping online can save you an average of £3.29 per purchase - yet one in 10 people aren’t confident managing finances online.

Digital confidence is often at the heart of it. That’s why East Riding of Yorkshire Council have number of initiatives, services and support on offer.
