Supercharge your digital growth

 
A new skills funding programme ‘Be the Digital Business Academy’ has launched to empower thousands of small and medium sized businesses in England to invest in digital skills transformation.
 
Data, digital and tech apprenticeship provider QA, and mentoring partner Be the Business have joined forces to deliver the brand-new academy, which will offer participating SMEs fully funded training for employees looking to upskill, reskill or leap into the Data and AI, Cyber Security and Cloud IT space, as well as direct access to industry leaders for valuable insight.  

Under the ‘Be the Digital Business’ initiative, enrolled apprentices from SMEs will receive training through the programme’s Digital Academy. During their time on programme, apprentices will be equipped with the tools to master in-demand digital skills such as data analysis, adopting AI and coding, all of which are critical to support your business with competitiveness, innovation, and security to thrive in a digital-first world.  

QA and Be the Business are set to host a series of webinars and events for SMEs, and prospective apprentices to shed further light on the academy and to discover the range of apprenticeship programmes available for your business.

Who is the academy for?

For valued employees in non – technical roles but use data daily and might want to develop their skills to further enhance their role
For businesses that need digital and tech talent, but don’t have the budget to hire or train
For businesses looking for new ways to drive success in their organisation, retain and nurture talent to sustain growth

"It’s great to be launching this partnership with QA. I speak to leaders of small businesses every day who tell me about the challenges that they’re facing finding the skills they need, especially digital and tech skills. And we know from our work with 13,000 businesses that those that become more digital, increase their productivity as a result. So this new partnership with QA to help more small businesses access the digital skills they need will also generate big productivity wins for those businesses who get involved.“

Anthony Impey, CEO, Be the Business

That’s where QA apprenticeships come in.
