This consortium is made up of leading businesses operating in the North West: ANS, Arup, Barclays, BAE Systems, CloudCo Solutions, GCHQ, ITV, Microsoft, Natwest, PwC UK, Siemens, TalkTalk, UA92 and the University of Salford. Their aspiration is that by collaborating together, they can make progress on a greater scale than if done individually to attract a more diverse workforce into technology roles, which is critical to ensuring success at the scale and pace needed to support the region in fulfilling its potential for growth.<\/p>\n

To increase the size and diversity of technology talent in the region, the NWTT group of businesses will focus their efforts on two areas: outreach to young people through education, and improving the skills of tech returners and those looking to re-skill in a new profession.<\/p>\n

For those who have already begun their career, the group will be focusing on how to support people who are interested in returning to a career in tech, and those looking to reskill after working in a non-tech background.<\/p>\n
