Digital Skills

Enhance the digital skills of your workforce through fully funded short courses and CPD. Our team provide dedicated support available across rural Northumberland and the North of Tyne Combined Authority. Invest in your employees and improve your organisation.

The North of Tyne Combined Authority (NTCA) Digital Skills Project supports employers and employees to access fully funded courses to enhance the digital skills of their workforce.

Our team will provide the opportunity for individuals to access training, addressing specific skills gaps identified by employers in disciplines which could include:

What we offer

  • Taster sessions for businesses and the community, delivered online and in outreach venues, to stimulate interest in digital skills.
  • Accredited and non-accredited structured short courses which will enable learners to build towards higher level qualifications. Provision will be flexible, with an emphasis on blended learning approaches, to attract individuals who would not traditionally access standard Higher Education programmes.
  • A pilot digital leadership programme designed for Northumberland employers to drive digital innovation.

Where are the projects delivered?

Our team at the University of Sunderland will be offering courses on a blended basis with a mix of online and face to face learning in pop up venues across Northumberland.
