Ada

Ada is a specialist further education college that prepares young people from underrepresented backgrounds for high-value careers in technology. It combines targeted outreach, intensive computer science education (ages 16–18), and degree apprenticeships (ages 18–24) with strong employer partnerships. Its model focuses on developing both technical skills and professional readiness, enabling students to progress into university or directly into well-paid tech roles. By bridging the gap between education and employment, Ada aims to drive social mobility and diversify the UK tech workforce.
