Notice Title

Developing Tech Talent - Digital Start Fund

Notice Description

Digital technology is transforming our world. In particular, the rapid development and integration of new technologies at work is having an unprecedented impact; creating talent shortages whilst also displacing existing roles. To thrive and remain competitive the Scottish economy requires a buoyant supply of digitally skilled individuals. And at Skills Development Scotland (SDS) we are working with industry and partners to ensure there are multiple career and learning pathways to ensure individuals who are at risk of displacement, and those who want to career change into tech have the opportunity. To achieve this SDS would like to appoint suppliers who can work with us to agilely develop and test new learning opportunities, whilst also supporting individuals on no or low incomes into tech jobs.
