1Four kinds of support are named
The previous article designed the pathway through a degree. This description sets out what is placed around the student.
2Not only a scholarship
A scholarship on its own does not carry a student through graduation and into an agency. Since the purpose of the call is to increase the number of people working in government, support has to cover entry through to exit.
3How the subjects are combined
Scholars complete bachelor and master degrees combining foundations in computer science, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and data science. The four are bound into one programme rather than taught as separate subjects.
The next article takes up an award that rebuilds the content of the training itself.
Why it matters
Workforce awards succeed or fail on attrition and on the bridge into employment rather than on the number of scholarships. That is especially true where the purpose includes the destination.
