AI and Data Technician Level 3 Apprenticeship

AI and Data Technician Level 3 Apprenticeship Offer

Many councils aren’t seeing the full return on their AI investments because their workforce lacks the skills and knowledge to make the most of these technologies. To help prevent this within North West authorities, our AI apprenticeship offer delivered in partnership with Decoded, helps build practical and strategic AI and data capability across the workforce, empowering leaders and teams to innovate responsibly. This offer can also help support and develop AI and technological skills and succession, along with providing a developmental pathway and talent pipeline within this area.

With over 15 years of experience in digital and data education, Decoded knows that success in this area isn’t just about having the right tools, it’s about mindset, skillset, and confidence. Their approach blends immersive learning, hands-on application, and strategic insight, so leaders and workforce can navigate AI’s complexities while staying true to public sector values.
