A pair of programmes providing digital skills and business support in Somerset, Devon, Plymouth and Torbay have received a £2m cash injection from the Heart of the South West LEP.
The Digital Skills Programme will be delivered through Devon County Council, while the Digital Skills Utilisation Programme will be delivered by the local authority and the Heart of the South West Growth Hub. Both programmes are due to run until March 2025.
The Digital Skills Programme will build on a previous pilot that encouraged better engagement between schools and key business sectors across the Heart of the South West area and will involve the Heart of the South West’s Career Hub.
