How We Can Help
Digital Skills Programmes
More needs to be done around developing skills in early adulthood, specifically we need programmes to teach digital skills. This should be inclusive and include those who want to shift careers into tech.
EdTech
Emerging tech which includes Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Data Analytics has led to a displacement of low skill jobs and there needs to be an emphasis on ‘Life Long Learning’ to upskill.
Centres of Excellence are:
►Good Things Foundation – delivering the Future Digital Inclusion programme, funded by the Department for Education.
►Skills for Tomorrow – launched by BT empowering people with the skills needed for a better tomorrow.
►Digital Business Academy – provided by Tech Nation to help start, grow or join a digital business.
►Future.Now – a new coalition of leading companies, education providers and charities working in collaboration.
Skills & Talent
Our curriculum for entrepreneurs develops their concepts in the digital hub. Our team provides access to advice, courses, tools, techniques, training and expertise from our expert partners and professional services organisations. This provides entrepreneurs with knowledge and insight to launch their enterprise.
We will be looking for partnerships with Tech enterprises for resource support and access to learning platforms to include free e-Learning platforms i.e. MOOC (Massive Open Online Courses) from Educational providers.
Apprenticeships
Making use of the UK Government’s apprenticeship levy scheme, they bring high potential talent from outside the sector and build their skills through an unique training and development programme, getting them to work with client’s productively and quickly.
