Coders Guild opens Lincoln hub to tackle local digital skills shortage

The Coders Guild has launched a new training centre at the Mosaic Digital Hub in Lincoln, providing businesses and professionals with access to digital skills development, including software development, artificial intelligence, project management, and cyber security.

Lincolnshire faces a significant digital skills shortage, with research indicating up to 85% of local businesses struggle to recruit qualified staff. Nationally, nearly half of UK companies report difficulties hiring employees with strong digital and data expertise, creating challenges for keeping pace with technological change.

The new hub aims to support local firms in bridging these gaps and building adaptable, future-ready teams.

The Coders Guild is offering part-government-funded training programmes for Lincolnshire-based businesses, including a Cyber Security Skills Bootcamp and an AI & Automation Bootcamp.

Both initiatives target business owners, freelancers, and self-employed professionals, offering practical skills to strengthen digital capability across the county.
