Fast Track Digital Workforce Fund Launch

The Lancashire Digital Skills Partnership (LDSP), a trailblazer supported by DCMS and part of the Skills and Employment Hub of the Lancashire LEP, is a collective of public, private and charity sector organisations that work together to address the digital skills needs of the County.

Lancashire Digital Skills Partnership

This is the launch event for the £3 million Fast Track Digital Workforce Fund.
The aim of the 'Fast Track' Fund is to help employers in the Greater Manchester and Lancashire areas to address their specialist digital skills needs through short, innovative, bespoke training. Government will invest alongside industry to help employers improve their productivity by developing digital skills that are needed to recruit hard-to-fill digital roles. 
The fund will be open for applications in the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) and Lancashire LEP areas from 25 June 2019. Consortia of employers and training providers can bid for between £50,000 &amp; £180,000 to run innovative digital training schemes linked to skills shortage vacancies.
The event will give you further information, in additon to the prospectus, and the opportunity to ask questions on the fund to support development of bids. It will also give you the opportunity to network with other interested parties with the aim of supporting early development of potential consortia.
The application form will be made available at the event and details of the process of application.
As this project is a joint venture with Greater Manchester Combined Authority and the DCMS, a second launch event will take place in Manchester on the 25th June.
If you are based in Greater Manchester, there is a seprate launch event that you can attend on the same date. please click the following link to register for that  - <A HREF="https://fasttrackfundgm.eventbrite.co.uk" TARGET="_blank">https://fasttrackfundgm.eventbrite.co.uk</A>
