This summer saw another fantastic set of exam results for our ScotlandIS Scholars!

In partnership with The Education Academy Scotland and this year's sponsor, Telefonica Tech, our fourth cohort achieved:

🌟 89% pass rate in N5 Maths
🌟 Ten Grade A's (one predicted at the outset)
🌟 12 of 18 scholars improved their working grade (7 improved by two grades or more)
🌟 61% female representation across the programme

And the feedback has been nothing short of wonderful!

We’re already thinking about what comes next and how we can bring more employers into the journey so if you want to find out more about how you can sponsor a cohort or get involved in other ways, drop Nicola Taylor ([email protected]) a note.

Time's running out to buy your tickets, with sales closing THIS FRIDAY!

Our first Dundee Founders Hub session is tomorrow!

For the past year we've been running ScotlandIS Founders Hub weekly in Edinburgh and we are delighted to now be partnering with Abertay cyberQuarter to engage with a new community of entrepreneurs.

The Dundee chapter will take place on the third Wednesday of every month, and acts as a co-working community of likeminded founders and startup leaders looking to grow their business and do so alongside others.

​Whether you’re just getting started or already scaling up, this is a chance to work amongst others facing similar challenges and opportunities.
