About EyUp

The UK economy is crying out for digital skills. In our home county of Yorkshire, there are more than 150,000 digital tech job openings a year – and the numbers are growing.

We are not short in aptitude – around half of the population has the natural problem-solving abilities we look for in software developers. But we are short in numbers as they currently stand.

EyUp is on a mission to plug the digital skills gap. Starting in Yorkshire, we are teaching people tech skills, finding them well-paid jobs as developers, nurturing their start-ups and contributing to personal, social and economic wellbeing.
