TechUP

Based on our experience in personalised education, TechUP is a programme focusing on training individuals from minority groups into tech careers. Working closely with industry, TechUP creates a programme tailored to industry-needs and participant learning experience.

Starting with TechUP Women, our award- winning programme took 100 women from the Midlands and North of England, particularly from underrepresented communities: BAME (54%); LGBTQ+ (21%); with disabilities (46%) or dependants (40), with degrees or experience in any subject area, retraining them in technology via a six-month online programme, developed in collaboration with industry, in preparation for roles as software developer, data scientist, agile project manager and business analyst.

Our graduates have found new roles or promotions in a wide range of industries: including manufacturing (Jaguar Land Rover, MSP), software (Double Eleven Ltd), education (JISC, Code Nation), service (HR in One) and the public sector (Newcastle City Council, Durham Constabulary). TechUPWomen won the Employment and Skills category in the UK Impact Awards 2020. This successful customised delivery is continuing in follow-up projects and further information is available here .
