Ada, the National College of Digital Skills’ mission is to educate and empower the next generation of diverse digital talent.
The digital industry is experiencing epic growth but there is a talent shortage. Over 130,000 tech occuptions are available each year in the UK but students are leaving education without sufficient knowledge and experience to get the job. We want to alter this. With Ada, students can learn relevant digital abilities to pursue their dream job in tech. We are a unique community that puts computer programming at the heart of everything we do. Our students are the future game-changers: challenging the norm, excited by altering, and resilient in the face of adversity. We want to remove the glass ceiling for women and individuals from low-income backgrounds in the tech industry. Everyone, from any background, is entitled to quality education and a better future. Our community is united by digital so we work closely with Haringey Council and the local community to ensure the inclusion extends beyond the walls of Ada.
