MD Future Live
A day of learning, insight and edge
Join us on 18 September to hear from Arm, UK Biobank, Peak, Fuzzy Labs and others doing serious work across AI, compute, infrastructure and quantum. No hype. No fluff. Just real conversations about where things are going and what it means for people building and using emerging tech.
Tickets are still available. If your company wants to be part of the conversation, we have a couple of sponsorship opportunities left. Get in touch with charlotte@manchesterdigital.com.
Get planning for your Autumn junior hires
We just built a new FREE AI module to complement our software developer apprenticeship.
Train talent to build with AI from day one, not play catch-up.
- Co-designed with industry, delivered by Manchester Digital.
- Upskill your team or onboard new hires, full apprenticeship or custom short format.
- Wraparound support from our team, reducing the pressure on yours.
Join our Autumn cohort or run a bespoke programme if you’re taking on 5 or more.
Open Doors. Back Local Talent.
Too many people are locked out of tech careers. We’re fixing that.
Manchester Digital is running two programmes that support Mayor Andy Burnham’s vision of an inclusive region with technical pathways for everyone:
- T Connect: real-world experience for local T Level students
- Grad Recharge: a fresh start for STEM graduates pivoting into tech
How your business can get involved:
- Host a short placement (3 days to 2 weeks)
- Set a live project brief
- Offer mentoring or a career talk
Why it’s worth it:
- Real social impact, zero red tape
- Meet EDI and social value goals
- Build your brand as an inclusive employer
- Spot future talent early
