Fort Collins, Digital Workshop Center teaming up on scholarships to close tech-skills gap

FORT COLLINS – Applications will open Nov. 1 and run through Dec. 1 for a new scholarship aimed at helping Fort Collins residents gain new technology skills.

The city of Fort Collins’ Economic Health Office and Digital Workshop Center – a private occupational school and coworking hub – are each kicking in $5,000 toward the program. Award amounts will range from $250 to $1,000 per individual.

“There is a serious skills gap between the local workforce and the companies hiring in Fort Collins,” Digital Workshop Center Stu Crair said in a release. “We hope this scholarship will help improve the talent of the local applicant pool as our city continues to grow.”
