ORGANISATION OVERVIEW
Sunderland Software City (SSC) drives the sustainable growth of the technology sector through a range of skills, innovation and business support programmes.
The aim of the Digital Skills programme is to inspire, educate and inform the future workforce, improving the region’s digital talent pipeline. It does this by working in collaboration with regional employers to connect industry with education. The programme will challenge pre-conceived ideas surrounding careers in STEM, raise aspirations, and encourage young people to think beyond their current experience through meaningful encounters with employers.
It will bring the world of work to life by providing opportunities for young people to understand technology career pathways, educational pathways, and the skills and competencies required to help build successful working lives.
