We are - the Manchester Women's Electronic Village Hall, or WEVH

Originally set up in 1992 we are based in city centre Manchester, providing ICT and Multimedia training and facilities for women in the Greater Manchester area.

The WEVH is unique because we specialise in how Information and Communications Technology relates particularly to women. Whether you are employed are not, are looking to learn new skills, or want to get established in business, we have services to help you develop.

We are committed to providing access to training and resources for all women. Our approach to training has come out of our experience of delivering courses in the community.

All courses are designed to meet the needs of women. Flexible training programmes are organised around school hours and holidays with support for childcare. Distance learning courses are also being researched for the future. As part of their training all trainees are offered personal development, counseling and career guidance.

In response to user demand, rapid developments in technology and new market requirements, we are constantly revising our training to remain up-to-date. The success of the Women's EVH trainees pays tribute to the unique approach we take.

One of the key benefits for trainees of learning these new technologies is the speed and simplicity of global communications for a low cost. In the wider world, the Women's EVH has provided a focus for international networking among women's groups world-wide in particular within the European Union and in Eastern Europe.

Organisation Structure

The Women's EVH is a registered charity as well as a company limited by guarantee and operates on a not-for-profit basis. We are guided by a voluntary Management Committee, which is made up of professional women drawn from the local area. Day-to-day running of the Women's EVH is carried out by a team of ten paid staff as well as additional training staff.
