Leadership Programme: Workforce Development in Digital Preservation

The DPC recognizes the very great need among our members for access to specialist training, but also the very great risks and costs that are incurred by those that provide and deliver such training. The DPC Leadership Programme offers an on-going programme of grants so that our members can attend specialist training and so that the organizations which offer training can be assured of a return on their investment.

This short video from the Digital Futues Academy explains how the Leadership Programme works. Announcements about individual calls are included below.
