Recruiting now...
Skills Bootcamps are flexible courses of at least 60 hours of training giving people the opportunity to gain new skills and an interview with a local employer OR gain new skills in an existing job. Typically Level 3, 4 or 5. They are free to all learners and can be online, face-to-face, or a mixture of both depending on the subject.
Skills Bootcamp are for: most adults over the age of 19.
- Adults who are unemployed or self-employed can attend Skills Bootcamps to get the skills they need to find a job or gain new contracts.
- Adults who are already working and thinking of switching careers can attend Skills Bootcamps to learn a new skill to help them find a brand new job with a new employer.
- Adults who are returning to work after a break can attend too, a Skills Bootcamp course could be just what's needed to retrain for a new career.
- Adults with a job who want to remain with their existing employer and learn new skills to help them take on new job roles should speak to their employer.
- Employers: if you, the employer would like to train (and retain) your own staff you will need to make a small contribution* to the cost. The Government funds the rest.
- Employers can also offer job interviews to people who have completed other Skills Bootcamps. Find out how employers can get involved here.
