Through the fund, a total of £900,000 will be available to support the development of early-stage digital tools and approaches with the potential to tackle vocational learning problems and get adults learning.
Individuals, organisations, and partnerships that have an idea for a new digital tool or approach to vocational learning can apply for the grant. Grants of between £30,000 and £60,000 are available for projects lasting up to 12 months. The grant can be used to develop and test new digital tools and approaches to vocational learning. This could include developing prototypes, conducting user testing, and evaluating the effectiveness of the new tool or approach.
