Is a career in tech right for you? Discover your pathway through funded training opportunities

There’s a lot of buzz about the tech industry at the moment, but it’s often difficult to know whether it’s the right career choice, let alone which pathway within tech to pursue.

At CodeClan, your starting point is our Access to Tech course, where you’ll be exposed to classes about data and software development. 

After that, you’ll be better informed to choose the pathway that best suits your aspirations. 

Scotland needs more people with software and data skills

Is this you? 
If you are resident in Scotland with the right to work in the UK, and are not a recent graduate, then you could be eligible for Digital Skills pipeline funding.
 
Funding for these courses is provided by the Scottish Government and managed by Skills Development Scotland (SDS). The Digital Skills Pipeline funding supports four learner groups to achieve their digital ambitions through specialist training.

The four eligible learner groups are:
  • Excluded talent – those with basic digital technology skills who will progress to further learning
  • Untapped talent – those with good digital technology skills requiring immersive learning and expecting to progress to either further learning or employment in a tech role
  • Existing workforce – those with good digital technology skills, driving change in a job role for their employer and expecting to continue to work in their sector
  • Hidden talent – those with significant transferable digital technology skills, requiring short, intensive, immersive learning and expecting employment in a professional digital tech role
