What is the CareerTech Challenge Prize?
The £1.2 million CareerTech Challenge Prize is looking for digital solutions that use labour market information to support people to make better informed decisions about their future careers. Solutions should generate actionable insights, be easy to use and proactively reach out to users.
The solutions should benefit employed adults in England who are aged over 24 years, without a qualification at degree level and earning less than £35,000 per year, with a focus on those in roles likely to significantly change or shrink.
