This summer, we are providing a number of Skills Bootcamps across the West of England. Skills Bootcamps are free, flexible courses of up to 16 weeks, giving people the opportunity to build up sector-specific skills and fast-track to an interview with an employer. These will be delivered in a blend of online, in-person and where relevant site visits and where possible we will accommodate hybrid learning and recorded sessions for those who are unable to attend any sessions.
The Skills Bootcamps are fully funded for learners and are part of the Government’s Lifetime Skills Guarantee, helping everyone gain skills for life. They are designed to help teach and strengthen skills for anyone who wants to increase their business activity, up-skill in their current role, or gain vital skills to secure a new position.
What topics will the Skills Bootcamps cover?
We will be starting with our first two bootcamps in Digital Marketing and Digital Workplace Skills in June, followed in August by Organisational Sustainability, Future of Construction plus Leadership & Management.
Is there a cost to me or my business for the Skills Bootcamps?
The Skills Bootcamps cost between £2,668 and £3,542 but are fully funded for learners. Depending on your employment status or the size of the company that you work for, there are three options for funding available from the West of England Combined Authority.
How are these funded?
The Skills Bootcamps are part of the UK Government’s Lifetime Skills Guarantee, helping everyone gain skills for life, and are funded and managed by the West of England Combined Authority, led by Metro Mayor Dan Norris, and delivered by YTKO.
