Skills Bootcamps

Skills Bootcamps are a flexible course of up to 16 weeks for adults aged 19 or over that are in work, self-employed, recently unemployed or returning to work after break. 

They’re designed to give participants the opportunity to develop their skills in a specific area and fast track into a new job or get ahead with their current employer.

Our Skills Bootcamps are co-designed with local employers to directly respond to industry skills shortages and current job and apprenticeship vacancies. 

Participants who complete Skills Bootcamps are guaranteed an interview or supported to explore other options to progress in their chosen career pathway.
