Ufi VochTech Trust, a charity which provides funding to support organisations using digital technologies for adult skills development, are holding a virtual lunchtime discussion for Northern Irish stakeholders on Monday 24 January.
Ufi believes that to build a stronger, more prosperous and resilient economy it is essential that people are able to gain the skills they need for work. They also believe that harnessing talent and developing skills is integral to every aspect of the vision for a 10x economy.
How can technology be best used to catalyse skills for work and what support is available to drive its development?

Ufi believe passionately in the power of digital technology to help people develop and maintain the relevance of their skills for work. The company calls these technologies VocTech, and supports their development through grant funding, venture investment and advocacy.
The informal session on Monday 24 January 2022, from 12:00 until 12:45 will introduce what the company does, the funding they provide and showcase how the support and expertise from Ufi has helped organisations deliver on their objectives to improve skills for work.
The company hopes it will be a valuable opportunity to make connections with a broad range of local stakeholders and to discuss how Ufi can best support the continued adoption and deployment of VocTech in Northern Ireland.
