Purpose of the fund
VocTech Activate is our test bed where the first spark of an idea which could solve a vocational learning problem can be scoped and tested in the supportive environment that Ufi funding provides. We grant fund projects that are at a relatively early stage, helping to prototype ideas and work out the next steps necessary on the journey to long-term success.
How much funding is available?
VocTech Activate provides grants of between £30,000 and £60,000 for projects lasting up to 12 months.
VocTech Activate was previously known as VocTech Seed
