Tech Talent Ready with Sunderland Software City

We have partnered with Sunderland Software City to provide our community with opportunities to volunteer during NCL in Action.

About Tech Talent Ready

Tech Talent Ready is part of the Adult Education Skills for Life programme. These are fully funded programmes to help adult learners develop new skills to gain employment in a desired sector or upskill for promotion and development at work.  

Sunderland Software City has developed the Tech Talent Ready brand to deliver boot camps to help people access training and skills in the digital and tech sector.  

Who is eligible to get involved?

We are looking for alumni and colleagues affiliated with the technology and digital sector in the North East to get involved.  

What is involved?

Alumni are invited to deliver a presentation as part of ‘Tech Insight Days’ consisting of virtual talks with digital/technical businesses in the North East of England.  

Your presentation should cover: 

  • Your career journey 
  • The tech/digital company that you work for and a discussion about any entry-level opportunities 
  • Any advice on gaining employment in the region 

The goal is to raise the adult learners’ aspirations and awareness of career paths and expand their network. 

How much time do I need to offer to volunteer?

Your presentation is expected to last approximately 30 minutes.
