This July, Toronto-based firm Rosaline Digital Marketing will open the first of its intensive courses on web design for young newcomers to the city from the Syrian diaspora.

Classes will introduce youth of ages 16-24 to the basics of website design, including setting up domains and hosting, installing wordpress and plugins, using themes and templates, creating pages and posts, among other fundamentals. The courses will be intensive, but accessible, with instruction in bilingual English and Arabic.

The company’s unique vision combines business development and client services with community building and education.

Applications must be submitted before 30 June. Classes run each Saturday at the Mississauga Central Library 15 July to 5 August. More details are available at the Rosaline website.
