Having engaged with a variety of key stakeholders through the evaluation process with a robust assessment of activities in line with the Social Value Quality Mark (SVQM) nationally recognised standards, we are confident in the results established through our independent evaluation. Over £12.7m of social value has been created along with a social return on investment (SROI) of £6.28 against every £1 invested, with social value identified across five value themes.
IN4 Group’s Skills City operation continues to deliver real impact across the country, giving individuals a pathway to develop their skills, knowledge and expertise in the tech sector. It also supplies them with softer skills to help with day-to-day challenges, fully preparing them to continue to develop and take
advantage of opportunities that are or will become available in the future. Industry partners, local businesses and employers are already feeling the benefits of the programme with Skills Bootcamp interns beginning to enter employment with the skills they need to ensure demand can be met for the sector.
