Designed to make a difference
Bright Network Technology Academy turns high potential into real capability.
To us, it is simple. The best and most effective way to build a more inclusive technology sector for the future, is to create the right opportunities today.
Ten years ago we embarked on a mission to change the way companies and graduate talent connected to drive quality, fairness and diversity to benefit our future workplace.
With Bright Network Technology Academy we are bringing together a new community of technologists. Learning from the best, we're equipping our members with the skills and opportunities they and future businesses need to thrive.
Hand-picked from our diverse community of 1,000,000 members, this is an Academy designed to make a difference.
An impact-focused curriculum, curated by experts
To date, we have trained and deployed over 150 Bright Network consultants who have the capability and commitment to apply their skills and work in leading organisations to change the culture within their technology teams.
With a focus on ethnic and gender diversity, social mobility and neurodiversity, our 12 week, award-winning bootcamp has created a training framework that focuses on developing the core fundamentals required of successful technology team members. All whilst fostering a deep connection with the craft of engineering.
Turning insight into action
We hire from our network
We've been building our diverse community for over ten years. The strength of our Bright Network Academy - 70% are from an ethnic minority, 56% are women and a retention rate of 87% reflects that commitment.
We work with industry leaders
From Lloyds Banking Group to Bloomberg, EY to Sky, we're working with organisations and sharing best practice with the innovators and pioneers within them to create the change in the workplace we all need to see.
A better way to learn
We combine real-world projects with group and individual learning frameworks devised by our Chief Learning Architect and former Microsoft trainer and author. Once deployed, we continue to run on-going L&D support and mentoring programmes to complement our consultants placements.
The course is just the start. It's the community that creates the change.
Uniting those with unique perspectives, let us introduce you.
