We are thrilled to partner with ScotlandIS to add another brilliant scholarship programme to our growing list of offers for young people in Scotland. 

With their incredible generosity and invaluable support, ScotlandIS has demonstrated just how serious and dedicated they are in their mission to drive our digital economy forward.  Karen, Nicola, and their team have clearly identified the huge need for young people to enter the sector, and with their support, they will help learners navigate the entry routes to a digital career whilst connecting them to the right people and positive role models who will support and inspire them. 

As Scotland’s premier tutoring school and SQA Approved Centre, we are proud to be partnered with the sector leaders who sit at the heart of our digital economy, paving the way for Scotland’s young people to access the rich opportunities and potential that a career in the digital world offers them.
