The next round of VocTech Activate grants opens on 3 January 2026. These grants support early-stage projects that use technology to address real-world problems in UK adult vocational learning. The focus is on supporting adult learners with limited access to opportunities to help them enter the workforce or improve their skills while in work.
Grants of £30,000 to £60,000 are available to support the design, development and testing of novel approaches to digital vocational learning.
You will need to show how your project will help to fill a gap in learning provision for learners who do not have suitable opportunities to learn workplace skills.
Private companies, trade bodies, learning providers, charities, community interest companies and other not-for-profit organisations can apply. Collaborative proposals are also welcome.
