UFI Charitable Trust - VocTech Seed Fund open

The VocTech Seed Fund is now open for applications. You can apply for up to £50,000 in grant funding from 15th January to 8th February (5pm deadline). 

If you've got a creative and imaginative project which uses digital technology to improve access to adult learning, or to improve how learning is delivered, then we'd like to hear from you.

We are looking for innovative digital projects which will help us deliver our vision of increasing the number of people in the UK accessing learning and gaining vocational skills. Successful applicants can receive support and grant funding of up to £50,000 for projects lasting up to a year. Projects must be vocational, focusing on the skills that adults (post 16) need for work, and aim to raise the skill levels of the UK workforce.
