Partnerships

Our partnerships build the pipeline of talent into technology from secondary school upwards, providing support for both
young people and adults.

We aim to ensure that those from under-represented backgrounds:

  • Get the academic and technical qualifications they need to succeed

  • Build the general and specific employability skills most valued by the sector

  • Build an awareness and experience of technology careers and the pathways into them

  • Gain access to education and work opportunities to showcase their talents
