Cluster applications will also be favoured over one-to-one partnership applications in the first instance.

The UFI Charitable Trust (Ufi), which aims to help improve vocational skills in the UK’s workforce, has announced the Voctech Now Fund is open for applications. The Voctech Now Fund aims to support vocational training providers who need to move to digital delivery methods in order to keep their learners engaged, as existing face to face delivery models are restricted as a result of Covid-19.
Grants of between £10,000 and £25,000 are available.
VocTech Now is a very targeted programme to address immediate barriers being faced by vocational learning providers in supporting users and by learners in continuing with their programmes with the closure of most training facilities.
VocTech are looking for applications from vocational learning providers who
- need to transition to digital delivery methods
- have a reasonably well-developed idea about how digital tools can solve the problems they have accessing learners, as a result of the COVID-19 restrictions
- can deliver to a significant number of learners through an existing route to market
- can implement their ideas immediately and show real results for their learners quickly
VocTech Now is for projects that can be deployed quickly with direct positive effects for learners who would otherwise not be able to access learning, so that:
- more adults to access the skills they need for work and professional updating in this new environment of travel restriction.
- the professional practice of learning providers develops so that they can continue supporting their students and move more practitioners into a ‘digital first’ or blended way of working after Ufi funding ends.
- In order to achieve this, projects must build from a strong base already, both in understanding of the target learners, route to market and having some level of understanding of the current VocTech market or groundwork already in place.
The funding is available to charities, private companies, community interest companies and other not for profit organisations. As a charity itself, Ufi must ensure that any grant given to any organisation that is not a charity demonstrates public benefit.
Potential applicants can attend a webinar on 30 March 2020 at 13.00 to hear more and ask any questions they might have. Information about this is on the UFI Events page where organisations can register to attend or use this link to register. Organisations can also email UFI with general questions about the fund at info@ufi.co.uk. The webinar will be posted on our website for those unable to attend on the day.
