Institute of Coding (IoC)
The Click Start programme aims to change the course of the UK’s growing digital skills shortage and pull down the barriers many face trying to enter the rapidly-evolving workforce
Nominet has partnered with The Institute of Coding (IoC) to launch this ambitious programme to support learners into technology and digital roles, through skills and education.
The programme is unique in that it brings together Nominet and the IoC’s connections for the first time, with universities, charities, and communities all in partnership with a shared purpose. In addition, Nominet will commit funding to the rigorous monitoring and evaluation of these regional projects to create a scalable solution to the digital skills gap and social mobility in the UK.
