Manchester United Foundation help launch Digital Academy to guide under represented students

Manchester United Foundation have teamed up with DXC Technology (DXC) to provide a match-winning education program for secondary school pupils in the Greater Manchester area.

Aimed at developing key social and technical skills for the students, the DXC Digital Futures Academy has been launched to help empower young people and connect them to opportunities they ordinarily may not have access to. It will strive to enhance their career prospects and future opportunities.

Fifty pupils aged 12-13 will be selected for the initial four-year initiative. During that time, they will each be taught important technology skills that span several key areas; including automation, virtual reality, security and professional development.
