Home to Silicon Fen, world-leading biotech, pharma, and research excellence, the East of England is the UK's innovation powerhouse. TESS Group delivers levy-funded AI apprenticeships directly to East of England employers, with no travel required.
Cambridge and the East of England region is extraordinary. Silicon Fen is home to thousands of tech and biotech companies, spin-outs from world-class research, and major global players. Pharma companies are using AI for drug discovery. Biotech startups are racing to scale. Research institutions are pushing AI innovation forward every day.
In this context, AI skills are existential. Companies compete on technical talent globally. Finding people who can build and deploy AI systems is critical. University graduates are excellent but many lack industry experience. Building in-house AI capability is how organisations win.
AI apprenticeships solve this. Levy-paying employers use existing funds. Smaller businesses access 95% government co-funding. Teams train remotely from Cambridge or anywhere in the East of England.
