Huddersfield has become one of the first towns in the UK to benefit from The Beacon – a new initiative giving every resident free, monthly, easy-to-understand training in Artificial Intelligence (AI).
The project, which helps people build practical AI skills they can use at work and at home, is being exclusively sponsored in Huddersfield by Stafflex, the long-established recruitment specialists with deep roots in the community.
Through Stafflex’s support, Huddersfield residents will be able to access jargon-free online training sessions each month, designed to demystify AI and show how it can make everyday tasks faster, easier and more effective.
Brian Stahelin, Managing Director of Stafflex, said:
“Huddersfield has always been about hard work, innovation, and looking after its own. Supporting The Beacon fits perfectly with our values – we’re delighted to give our town the chance to get ahead with the AI skills that are quickly becoming essential for work and life.”
The Beacon’s founder, Jon Crocker, added:
“We’re thrilled to launch in Huddersfield with Stafflex as our sponsor. Their commitment means local people can access practical, monthly AI learning that’s clear, simple and completely free. It’s all about making sure communities like Huddersfield aren’t left behind.”
