What is the grant available for?
The VocTech Activate scheme supports the development of new ideas that use digital tools and approaches to transform how people in the UK gain skills for work. The scheme is described as a 'test bed' where the first spark of an idea which could solve a vocational learning problem can be scoped and tested in a supportive environment.
The design, development and early stage testing of novel approaches to digital vocational learning will be funded. The aim is to help take those ideas through basic prototyping to the next stage of 'seeding the market' by delivering a first proof of concept prototype and planning a route to market.
Any eligibility criteria
Applications are invited from UK-based early stage businesses, smaller digital innovators and other organisations looking to test new digital approaches on a small scale. Charities, trade bodies, existing learning providers, and employers who would like to test new approaches to using digital technology for vocational learning, may also apply.
What grant amounts are available?
Individual grants of between £30,000 and £60,000 will be awarded for projects lasting between 3 and 12 months.
