The Springboard+ upskilling initiative in higher education offers free and subsidised courses (90% subsidised!) at certificate, degree and masters level leading to qualifications in areas where there are employment opportunities in the economy. It is open to those who are unemployed and those in employment.
There are courses available at Levels 6,7,8 and 9. I've attached the full list of courses available, there may be one that will support you in your current role, or one which will help you to upskill in a completely different area! I’ve attached the lists of courses available.
