For government & public sector
A national vehicle for skills and innovation.
Aligned to the NI 10X Economy, UK AI Opportunities Action Plan, Skills England and equivalent national priorities. Delivered through schools, judged by industry, measured at regional level.
Policy alignment
Where it lines up.
NI 10X Economy
Direct contribution to the skills, innovation and inclusive-growth pillars of the 10X strategy.
UK AI Opportunities Action Plan
Embeds AI literacy and AI innovation into 15–19 education through the AI Visionaries category and pillar.
Skills England / NI Skills Strategy
Maps to priority sectors and supports pathways into apprenticeships, T-Levels and higher technical routes.
Regional inclusion
Reach reported by region, postcode and school type — built to satisfy levelling-up successor funds and equivalent inclusion measures.
How public bodies engage
Three engagement routes.
Strategic funding partner
Co-fund a pillar or category aligned to your priorities. Named on programme materials and final reporting.
Policy alignment partner
Brief the programme on priorities. Sit on the steering group. No funding commitment required.
Regional rollout
Council, education authority or devolved nation rollout with regional reporting and a single point of contact.
Reporting
Evidence built in, not bolted on.
Every cycle produces a public impact report. Sponsors and partners receive quarterly reporting against reach, engagement, regional inclusion and outcomes — designed to satisfy public-sector evidence requirements.
