We are an education, skills and economic development team specialising in IT and digital policy and programmes, working at local, national and European levels.

At local level, we also do a lot of work with young people aged 14-19 to foster enterprise, entrepreneurship and creativity, harnessing our experience and contacts in the digital and new media sectors.

Much of our activity relates to the use of technology in teaching and learning but we also lead programmes to create and deliver new curriculum. With a background in the IT and creative industries as well as education, we contribute to programmes focused on economic development of the digital and new media sectors, as well as to activities that drive IT-enabled growth across the economy as a whole.

Across these different scenarios, we develop strategies and action plans... design, manage and deliver programmes including events and workshops... and research, benchmark and evaluate new developments. Through our marketing team, we integrate digital communications into our activities wherever possible, including extensive use of social media.

Our collective expertise spans schools... further and higher education... 14-19 partnerships... work-based learning... adult and community learning… and libraries. We are passionate about the role that IT and digital media can play in inclusion, creativity and enterprise.

Our aim is to make innovative and excellent contributions to the projects we work on and, in doing so, to support our partners and customers in making positive change.
