One of eight companies recognised for Promoting Opportunity by the King’s Awards for Enterprise, Sparta Global believes the circumstances of someone’s birth or upbringing should never determine or define their outcomes in life.

The digital skills gap is estimated to cost the UK economy £63 billion per year, and with technology developing at a rapid rate this is an alarming statistic. The team at Sparta Global believe traditional pathways into technology exclude much of the UK’s highest potential people. This is why they are taking a stance, bridging the digital skills gap by hiring, training and developing passionate people from largely underrepresented communities.

By removing barriers to entry for those from non-STEM backgrounds and minority groups, the company has built a pipeline of future leaders for more than 100 private and public sector organisations – helping them to build technology capability, access future skills and make a social impact by hiring people with diverse thoughts and perspectives.
