About:
Join Shoestring | Digital and the Gatsby Foundation for an event focussed on how students can gain much needed digital skills to thrive in industry placements.
Digital Manufacturing on a Shoestring is an approach based on research from the University of Cambridge that helps smaller companies get started with digital solutions that satisfy real business needs. We are piloting an FE pathway providing students with capability in low-cost digitalisation to take to their local companies.
This event will allow Further Education Colleges, other vocational education providers and skills champions to understand what Shoestring is about, how it is making an impact and shape the future of our next phase.
