Project jobs

Welcome to Ada

At Ada, the National College for Digital Skills, our mission is to empower the next generation of diverse digital talent. By combining high-quality education with deep industry partnerships, we are expanding the talent pipeline, diversifying the tech sector, and transforming lives.

As a specialist Further Education college, all our 16–19 students study Computing, while our Higher Level and Degree Apprentices work in high-demand disciplines within innovative, blue-chip companies.

Bridging the Skills Gap

The UK’s digital skills gap costs the economy an estimated £63 billion annually in lost GDP. Ada addresses this by equipping young people with the specific skills the industry requires. Since being announced by the Prime Minister in 2014 as England’s first new FE College since 1993, we have consistently excelled, earning "Good with Outstanding features" in our first two Ofsted inspections.

Our Reach and Impact

We operate from state-of-the-art campuses in Victoria, London, and Ancoats, Manchester, fostering a supportive, values-driven environment for students and staff alike. Our current learner demographics reflect our commitment to inclusion: 33% Female 62% Ethnic minority backgrounds 27% Low-income households 48% From low-income areas. Our London Sixth Form currently enrolls 216 students, delivering nation-leading results: The qualification achievement rate (QAR) is 84% with those from disadvantaged backgrounds (measured as eligible for  FSM) at 88%. The BTEC pass rate achieved is 100%, with 65% of learners attaining the highest grades (Distinction* or Distinction). The  programs successfully lead to 91% positive destinations for learners.

Expanding our curriculum

In response to our successful roll out of T Levels from September 2024 we are expecting to expand the offer of the program in Digital Software Development with up to 75 learners across both our campuses with London hosting up to 50 learners. This includes a 315-hour industry placement and a comprehensive skills program designed to launch successful careers in tech.  We are also looking ahead to launching new V Levels in 2027 in response to the DfE launch of distinct programmes of study.

About The Organisation

In the 1980s, high unemployment and steep inflation was contributing to a shocking rise in youth homelessness across London. Thousands of young people were sleeping rough every night, with many areas notoriously dubbed “cardboard cities” due to the visible rise in street homelessness. Appalled by the scenes playing out across the capital, a group of people came together to tackle the challenge head on. Led by Cardinal Basil Hume and Mark McGreevy OBE, in 1989 the charity was born.

What began as a single housing project in North London soon expanded across London, Greater Manchester and the North East of England. Today, the charity provides accommodation, prevention and support services to thousands of marginalised young people across the UK each year.
