CodeClan
CodeClan is Scotland's first accredited digital skills academy and the UK's only accredited software development academy. Industry led and government backed, CodeClan opened its doors in October 2015. The aim is to create a new generation of software developers that will allow Scotland's vibrant digital sector to flourish and drive the economy. CodeClan is a core component of the Scottish Government's Digital Skills Investment Plan to tackle the serious and escalating skills shortage in the digital technologies economy. Forecasts suggest there could be up to 11,000 job opportunities each year in ICT and digital technology. CodeClan is a fully independent social enterprise with support from the Scottish Government, Scotland's digital industry trade body, ScotlandIS and Skills Development Scotland.
