Women and Future Skills Programme – Now Underway
The Dundee Women and Future Skills Programme has officially started, empowering women in Dundee with the data, AI, and creative thinking skills identified as vital in the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025. Accredited to the PDA in Data Science (SCQF Level 8), the programme combines technical learning with wellbeing and structured mentorship.
Designed by Code Division, Nomad Alba, and The Data Gals, it focuses on inclusion, accessibility, and industry engagement. Each learner is paired with a personal mentor and works on real community data projects — preparing them for meaningful, future-ready careers in data and digital sectors.
Build Future Workforce with Flexible, Accredited Data & AI Courses
Short, high-impact courses in data and AI are vital to meet the demands of today’s fast-changing economy. The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report highlights that 75% of companies plan to adopt AI, big data and analytics by 2027—and over 50% of workers will need to reskill. The Withers Report further underlines the growing need for microcredentials to support lifelong learning and job mobility.

Background
Polina arrived in Dundee through the Homes for Ukraine scheme, having built her career in Ukraine as a teacher and economist. Looking to rebuild her professional life in a new country, she joined Code Division’s 6-week SQA-accredited Data and Excel course, led by industry expert Emily. Her goal was simple: refresh her skills and gain confidence.
A Turning Point
What Polina found was far more than she expected. Emily’s teaching opened up a completely new way of thinking about data—making complex tools feel approachable and useful. What started as a desire to improve her Excel skills quickly became a passion for working with data.
“I thought I was just learning Excel, but it was so much more. It helped me believe in myself again. I realised data is something I can understand—and actually enjoy.”
Career Change
With her confidence rebuilt, Polina applied for a new role and was soon hired by St Andrews University. One short course didn’t just update her skills—it transformed her outlook, opened doors, and sparked a new chapter.
