Funding is for UK based organisations using technology to transform how adults gain and maintain skills for work.
The VocTech Seed Fund is currently accepting applications from organisations across all sectors, including charities, trade bodies, existing learning providers and employers.
Grants of between £15,000 and £50,000 are available to support the exploration of new approaches to using technology to enable adult skills development. The funding is specifically aimed at supporting experimentation and scoping of early-stage ideas, including pilots, prototyping and planning for long-term success. The grants can support projects lasting between three and 12 months.
The grants can be used to support a wide range of learners with particular interest in supporting sectors, locations, skills levels and individuals that have not been well served by mainstream provision.
In addition to the grants, there will be opportunities to connect, network and access expertise to support grant recipients on the way to achieving their ambitions.
The funder is offering pre-application online workshops which will take place on 30 June, 5 July and 11 July, register for the pre-application online workshops https://ufi.co.uk/grant-funding/voctech-seed/
