Platform Housing launches digital apprenticeships

Platform Housing Group has just launched its Digital Futures Academy, a paid apprenticeship programme designed to offer people from diverse backgrounds the opportunity to build a career in digital and data technologies.

With a focus on improving customer experiences in social housing, the programme aims to open doors for those who may have struggled with traditional academic pathways, including individuals who are neurodiverse or have faced challenges in the classroom.

The Digital Futures Academy will give apprentices the chance to gain hands-on experience and professional development across a range of disciplines within technology. Apprentices will have the opportunity to explore various career paths, including cybersecurity, data analysis and service-desk support, before selecting one that suits their strengths and ambitions.

Jon Cocker, chief information officer, Platform Housing Group, said, “We are excited to launch the Digital Futures Academy, focusing on developing digital expertise while fostering a customer-centric mindset.

“We want to encourage people from all backgrounds and abilities to apply, including those who may not have flourished within the traditional school environment but who possess the talent, drive and passion to succeed.”

Prospective apprentices can find out more by visiting platformhg.com/digital-futures-academy or emailing apprentices.quals@platformhg.com.
