Our programme Tech Talent X offers you the opportunity to become immersed in teams across Sunderland Software City to share your ideas and talents. But it’s about more than that. If you’re a soon-to-be college or University leaver, we can help you learn about the transition between education and working life. If you’re a returner, your time with us will give you a window on how workplaces have changed while you were away.
This project is funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. The UK Shared Prosperity Fund aims to improve pride in place and increase life chances across the UK investing in communities and place, supporting local business, and people and skills.
