Innovation workshops
A series of workshops will bring together experts from specific industries to explore new technological solutions for existing and emerging industrial challenges for Ukraine and the UK.
These solutions will be designed with a specific end-user in mind, who will seek to procure and utilise the solutions with real-world applications.
The series will begin with a focus on fintech, cyber security, and edtech. It will expand to cover additional sectors later this year, including humanitarian demining.
A workshop registration portal will open in summer 2024. If you would like to be notified when it becomes available, please register via the TechBridge mailbox to receive updates.
If you are a large business or public organisation with an industrial challenge that you are seeking an innovative solution for, or an SME or expert with an interest in developing new capabilities, please register at the TechBridge mailbox.
How do I approach tech learning?
By setting this direction, you can then branch out your learning to a related area to get enough competence to move into a position in that field.
With so many resources and learning pathways available, it can be difficult to find the right choice. There is no single ”correct” answer, but instead one that best suits your interests and career aspirations.
STEP 1
Make a start on learning by picking a career path or topic that most interests you. Look at the list of technologies and skills the role requires and pick one you don’t know.
STEP 2
Consider whether you are enjoying the process and whether you’re getting value out of the learning experience. If not, pivot to something different – this may be a different course, platform or even career learning path.
STEP 3
Consistently keep learning and upskilling and use potential roles to identify further skills you can build on and develop. This will also help you better understand how the role works.
Take the leap.
Once you’ve found a role you’re interested in, explore the platforms available to you.
These platforms offer a wide range of training resources and material that can help you achieve your learning goals and set you up for your desired career path.
