Digital Jersey COVID-19, #HackTheVirus Challenge
On Thursday 30th May 2020, we were delighted to be chosen from all of the applications to the Digital Jersey COVID-19, #HackTheVirus challenge as 1 of just 6 finalists.
Finalists came from a range of fantastic business initiatives and it was a truly humbling experience to hear all of the fantastic work currently happening in the Island.
As part of our pitch, we had just 10 minutes to explain to the judges our online training platform, and why our platform is so important to the industry both now and in the longer term.
We had to answer some tough questions from the expert judging panel, but we are beyond delighted to be announced as 1 of 3 entries who have been awarded funding. The money will be used to further develop our learning platform.
