Upskill your team with government funding
As part of our campaign to reduce skills gaps and talent shortages across the UK, organisations can now benefit from funding from the Department for Education (DfE) to upskill their employees.
You can also take advantage of an increasing talent pool in digital marketing, as we are providing government funded Digital Marketing Strategy Skills Bootcamps for individuals currently out of work.

Why are we providing this training?
The Department for Education has selected the DMA as a partner on their Skills for Life initiative, to close the skills gap that is negatively impacting business. This partnership supports our campaign to upskill the marketing industry.
“The DMA’s new skills bootcamps will help organisations and the people who power them to benefit from government-funded upskilling and reskilling opportunities during these extremely challenging economic times. They will help businesses to acquire skilled, diverse talent saving on both training and recruitment costs, while empowering them to boost growth and productivity,” said Chris Combemale, CEO of the DMA.
“In addition, they will offer support to people from all backgrounds across the UK, not only helping them to develop highly desirable marketing and digital skills, but to also provide them with crucial links to responsible employers.”
