Microsoft launches Britain Works Challenge

Local authority teams are being encouraged to use their creativity and business skills to pitch for up to 100,000 Microsoft Training Vouchers, to help launch innovative programs for citizens in their area. Bidders have to tell judges how they would use the vouchers and the impact it will have. A panel of industry and local government judges will choose the best ideas, and training vouchers will be awarded to ensure the suggestions can be delivered. The challenge is being supported by SOLACE and launched at their annual conference in Brighton this week.
