Comment by Darren Hardman

Chief Executive Officer of Microsoft UK and Ireland.
I believe programmes like this are crucial to ensuring the AI economy creates more opportunities for more young people, in every corner of the country. By combining practical experience with AI skills training, we can develop real pathways into high-quality careers, build a stronger talent pipeline, and drive greater social mobility for young people in the North East.
