Having worked for over 15 years in the skills arena for Skills Development Scotland, Scottish Enterprise and Careers Scotland, Alison came up with the idea for Skillfluence during a sabbatical in Silicon Valley.
Whilst there, she studied at 3 different institutions and attended numerous events. The universities were so well connected with start-up culture, business, and investors that Alison knew there was a need to mirror this in the UK.
Alison got to work on making more connections to join the dots between outstanding research and real-world impact and influence.
While Alison was building Skillfluence, she was still working full-time, using her evenings and weekends to create training programmes and develop the platform. Eventually, she took the leap and made Skillfluence her full-time job.
