The charity-led initiative hosted at Park Hall Hotel & Spa will recognise the achievements of learners who have completed digital skills training. It will also feature the Digital Skills Awards, presented by the Mayor of Wolverhampton Linda Leach.
The programme includes expert talks on mental health, wellbeing and art therapy, alongside an art exhibition and networking session.
Delivered in partnership with SNJ Charitable Trust, which works to improve lives through education, healthcare and skills development across the UK and India, the event will highlight how technology can open doors to employment and financial independence.
Neena Jhulka, founder, trustee and CEO of SNJ Charitable Trust, said: “International Women’s Day is a time to celebrate progress while recognising the challenges that remain.
"Digital skills are a powerful tool for women to build confidence and access new opportunities, and we’re thrilled to be shining a spotlight on their achievements.
"This event is a fantastic opportunity to come together, share inspiring stories, and see first-hand the impact education can have in shaping a more inclusive future.”
Park Hall Hotel & Spa has been a valued partner of SNJ Charitable Trust for over 10 years, supporting its mission through events, initiatives, and financial contributions that benefit the local community.

Vinit Vadhawkar, general manager at Park Hall Hotel & Spa, added: “Working with SNJ Charitable Trust aligns with our commitment to supporting education and skill-building in the community.
"Digital skills are essential and, by partnering with SNJ, we can contribute to bridging the digital divide and empowering more women to take control of their futures. We’re excited to host this inspiring event."
