Proud to announce that @workerbirdHQ is part of @NestaChallenges & @educationgovuk #CareerTechChallenge Prize! Congratulations to all the finalists & enjoyed meeting all remotely. Looking forward to the next 9 months & transforming how adults navigate the changing world of work.
Great morning so far at the @nesta_uk #ChangingWorldofWork event! Really interesting to hear the insights from @Liveworkstudio's experience of supporting the #CareerTechChallenge finalists and now learning more on innovating with labour market data.

Check out @nesta_uk's interactive storyboard showing how jobseekers can engage with the #careertechchallenge solutions on their journeys. A really inventive way of showing what Workerbird and the other finalists have produced during the Challenge! nesta.org.uk/project-updates…
Founders & Coders had a really successful completely remote cohort and these talented junior devs are now available to hire. Please snap them up!
After the success of brixtonlocal.life, we rebuilt it and launched the lovelocal.life project. We're helping communities during the lockdown set up sites that spread the word about independent businesses and services. Let me know if you want one for your area!
We have launched lewishamlocal.life & sydenhamlocal.life and & have more on the way. All you need is a Google spreadsheet to share locally for contributions & entries and we do the rest. Let everyone know about new delivery services, community groups & local support 🙂
Thanks for the article @brixtonbuzz 😊. We've now hit 50 listings. Proud of our crowd-sourced community site. Pleased to say that @NatalieSeeto, @RebeccaBotha and @jcdev66 are helping to develop the project further. Reliving our @founderscoders days!

“Getting the word out about local BRIXTON businesses still operating, delivering and providing new services during the COVID-19 lockdown” #BrixtonLocal brixtonlocal.life/
brixtonlocal.life/ began as my spreadsheet listing #localbusinesses still operating and now delivering. It was widely shared, so I did a very quick website build & we've had over 1,000 visitors in 2 days. Thanks to @squidmania & @dominicdigital for helping when I got stuck!
My thoughts on how can we use tech to move towards a good future of work. I'm very grateful to the @theRSAorg and @CNTR4growth Economic Security Impact Accelerator for giving us the space and community to explore these ideas in depth.
Given the situation where tech is increasingly used against workers as a surveillance tool, how can tech be designed to support workers? @visionsremain, founder of @workerbirdHQ, shares her insights thersa.org/discover/publicat…
I had an incredible learning journey on the @theRSAorg @CNTR4growth Impact Accelerator residential and I'm beyond thrilled Workerbird is part of
a movement to support good work, inclusive growth and the overall economic security of UK workers #RSAFutureWork #techforgood 👊.

Learnt so much today at #designsystemslondon 🤓. Fantastic speakers that covered both the theory and practice of designing and building design systems. Magic happens when designers & developers work closely together! Thanks @DSLconf 👏👏
I was so lucky to have @FG_webdev in my cohort and to mentor with her! Congratulations on her amazing journey so far, and this is just the beginning 🎉
