DigiTay: Funding Opportunities
Presently there are no live funding opportunities. When other funding opportunities are available this page will be updated. Here is a summary of what some of the funding has been used for.
Data Skills for Work
The Data Skills for Work initiative focuses on providing crucial funding opportunities for training and education providers. Thanks to The Data Lab’s efforts on behalf of DigiTay, two rounds of funding have been successfully completed, with a third round currently underway. Although applications for the fourth round have closed, anticipation is high as we prepare to score and award the next set of grants.
Since the implementation of the Data Skills for Work initiative, DigiTay has proudly committed an impressive £147,000 in grants. This funding has empowered 141 learners to embark on transformative digital and data short courses, delivered by an esteemed network of training and education providers. These achievements underscore our dedication to fostering a skilled and future-ready workforce.
