VocTech Activate grant fund | Voluntary Action Orkney

The VocTech Activate grant fund supports the development of new ideas that use digital tools and approaches to transform how people gain skills for work.

They encourage ideas which have the potential to transform how vocational learning happens, rooted in a real-world understanding of the problems, issues and opportunities in the vocational sector. Projects will need to show how the idea is novel.
