AID: Scholarships will promote diversity
NEW digital scholarships are being handed out to budding coders - and Bolton and Bury candidates are being sought.
The Greater Manchester Combined Authority and Lancashire Digital Skills Partnership has 24 such bursaries on offer as part of the Northcoders initiative.
