A £2.85 million programme delivered by Ufi VocTech Trust is set to support the use of digital technology in adult education and skills development across the UK. VocTech Together focuses on addressing barriers faced by underserved learners and aims to improve access to employment pathways.
The programme includes several elements, such as support for smaller organisations adopting vocational technology, a grant fund to embed digital tools into practice and workforce development, and partnerships designed to scale solutions across sectors and regions. It also includes activity to gather evidence and inform policy and practice.
In 2027, the grant fund will provide awards ranging from £20,000 to £40,000. This funding is intended to help organisations integrate technology into learning delivery and workforce training, as well as to test and expand approaches that can be applied more widely.
Eligible applicants include training providers, colleges, charities, public bodies, employers and employer groups, along with collaborative partnerships. Priority is given to those working with adult learners and communities facing barriers to skills development.
Applicants should complete a short form on the programme website to receive further information and opportunities to get involved.
