Northcoders announces partnerships and expands work with Leeds-based BJSS
Northcoders is also expanding its work with Leeds-based BJSS to offer ten SMEs in the UK the chance to enrol one of their employees onto a course that will improve their digital skills and lead to a Level 4 qualification in software development at no cost to the firm or the individual.
Northcoders TechEd will be delivering its ReSkill programme for holiday retailer On the Beach and personalised greeting cards and gifts retailer Moonpig.

Amy Wild, chief commercial officer at Northcoders, said: “These announcements are a fantastic start to 2022 as Moonpig, On the Beach and BJSS are all leaders in their respective sectors.
“We are delighted to support our partners’ growth ambitions by reskilling their current teams, by giving their employees the ability to change career paths and the attributes required to be a software developer.”
ReSkill is ideal for employees who want to stay with their current employer but change their career direction into coding and for businesses that want to either retain talented people whose roles are no longer needed or increase their in-house tech resource.

BJSS will fund the placements, which again will be on the ReSkill programme, using its apprenticeship levy-transfer.
The Government allows companies to transfer unused apprenticeship funds to other employers to pay for the training and assessment cost of apprenticeships agreed with the receiving employer.
